The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

4.0

Dill and Travis have shitty lives thanks to their even shittier parents. Lydia has a pretty decent life but is ready to leave small town Tennessee and move to the big city. The three are best friends entering their senior year of high school. They endure some real crap their senior year as they make plans for life after high school. Spoiler alert: there is a pretty heartbreaking twist near the end of this book.
