Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky
4.0
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Boys Weekend was a great exploration of transmisogyny, toxic masculinity, and growing out of friendships, but the plot was a bit underdeveloped. The book would have been amazing if it were longer and had the chance to explore cults more, but the conflict sped by too quickly and didn't really make sense. The story was still good and the characterization and art were great. I still recommend and I hope the author has more chances to expand their writing in the future.
