yvesdot 's review for:

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
5.0

My go-to for a fast-paced, compelling comfort read: the story of two teens on a fictional Irish island, both desperately needing to win the same deadly competition. High stakes only lead to deeper bonds between the main characters, whose romance has a beautiful depth that belies its age group while perfectly encapsulating the real fears and emotions of teens together in perilous circumstances.
