Brooklyn, Burning by Steve Brezenoff

3.0

This book is a bit of a puzzle to me because I wanted to fall in love with it, I loved all the characters, I loved the premise, and I thought the writing was beautiful, and yet I didn't quite fall in love with it. Maybe it was that the story felt quietly lyrical all the way through but failed to stir any truly intense emotions in me; maybe it was that the ending did not quite satisfy me. One way or another, it was a lovely book, it just didn't move me as much as I hoped it would.
