Kids of Appetite by David Arnold

4.0

This was a solid contemporary story with a great cast of eclectic characters, an unexpected through thread, and interesting prose, using repetition, strong word choice, and good duel perspectives. It’s the story of a bunch of kids, the kids of appetite, and how this found family, and its periphery characters came to be. Found family is such a great center of a story, but Vic’s Mom and Dad and all of their relationships are so powerful. I think Vic’s Dad and his mourning process are such a strong tenant of this story. Vic’s genetic differences, and how he grows through it and finds love and strength are also powerful. There is a lot to love about this hard to describe story but I’m glad I got to read this book and meet the author.
