A review by dnietoperafan
The Scar Boys by Len Vlahos

3.0

This book really tries to be the The Catcher in the Rye for Gen Z. I really liked it. Coming-of-age novels are kind of my jam. The Scar Boys made me really think about who your true friends are, because honestly, we will never know for sure. But anyway, this was Vlahos’ first novel and the writing style could be better (we can all improve), that’s why I gave it a 3-star rating. I really enjoyed the characters who were developed (such as Harry), and that’s why I really wanted for the rest of the main cast to be developed as well. Richie was my favourite character tbh, he lighted up the mood everytime, he had such a nice aura. I know Vlahos already released a sequel for this book, in which I HOPE he develops the rest of the gang (mostly Richie lol). I would very much like to read it and see were this story goes. I would recommend it. I enjoyed reading it and I believe you will too! It’s a very easy and short to read novel.
