The Boy Who Steals Houses by C.G. Drews

5.0

Sometimes I just lack the energy to write the review a book deserves. The boy Who Steals Houses by far deserves a longer and more in-depth review then I currently have the energy to conjure out of my tired brain. I rarely pick up a book I cannot put down these days, but The boy Who Steals Houses was the book for me. I read it to the point I was late leaving work one night because I forgot what time it was. The characters were instantly alive and relatable from the first page, the emotions were true and vibrant, and when the book was done I wished for more. As one does with any good book. This tale touched me and left me wondering about myself in ways stories seldom do. Overall, this was simply a joy to read in all ways, especially the small touches of queerness scattered throughout. I could relate to my favorite side character simply because he, like myself, was queer. I highly recommend.
