Invisible Boys
by Holden Sheppard
An incredible and important book. Three teenage boys (and eventually another one introduced later) who all live in a small rural town are struggling to come to terms with their sexuality in a homophobic town.
This book deals with important topics such as internalised homophobia, depression, homophobia and toxic masculinity. This story felt too real and I was really invested in the storyline. I’m sad that even though this book is fiction, the scenarios in the story have happened and are still happening today and it pisses me off that people are being treated differently due to their sexuality.
The simple writing made it easy to transition between the different POVs of the teenage boys. I liked the flow on how the four main teenage boys eventually became intertwined with one another. I was surprised how quickly I finished this book and would recommend others to read!
“Everyone needs a way to release the pressure, and I’m no different. The brighter you shine on the outside, the darker you burn within.”
