alluvium 's review for:

Deposing Nathan by Zack Smedley

2.0

---

A lot of this didn‘t work for me personally but it does address a lot of important topics like religion and sexuality, parental abuse and the stigma of bisexuality. Yet, the narrative framing didn‘t work and I feel like the book could have done without the thriller like interrogation as the mystery of ˋwhy did this happenˋ wasn‘t really important and the conclusion didn‘t really have that much of an impact. The way these teenagers talked didn‘t feel very realistic, and I had a hard time liking both of the main characters which might have been the point but hindered my enjoyment of the book.

I really liked the ending, though. it was bittersweet and very fitting and something I want to see other authors do as well.
