Shy by Max Porter
4.5
challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
A mix of Ondaatje and Darnielle, Porter’s portrayal of youth-at-risk is heartbreaking and insightful. The stream of consciousness style is a major win and does not detract from the story at all. Plus, the reading goes by so fast you forget you’re reading at all!
