A review by anjalisudarsan
The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass

3.0

I felt a change in tone throughout the book - one moment I'm reading a YA fiction novel and teen angst, the next, metaphors describing auras and energies. The plot was quite exciting and kept me going, but some of the scenes were a bit too much of a drag.

The protagonist embracing his identity did not seem to evoke as much emotion. For a teenager coming to terms about being gay, it felt like there was a lot of potential.
