Darkhearts by James L. Sutter
4.0
I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars if I could.
I enjoyed this story. It's a queer coming-of-age story and it's both heartbreaking and sweet. David, Chance, and Ridley are wonderfully full characters. It has great pacing and tackles a lot of different topics. Death Putt sounds fantastic -- I wish I could go!
While I understand why the story is only told from David's PoV, he did get annoying at times. He clearly has things to work on but his constantly assuming what Chance's life is like without asking got old. He couldn't get out of his own way. And maybe I'm a little too old for these characters but I think I would've found it tiring at 17, too.
Though that ending? *chef's kiss*
