A review by asmushy
Personal Effects by E. M. Kokie

4.0

Heartbreaking and deeply emotional, Personal Effects tugged at my heart-strings and left me in a pool of tears and mush by tackling a sensitive issue and narrating the story in Matt's voice.

Awkward Matt who is still grieving his brother by using his fists. Frightened Matt who could barely stand his ground with his abusive father and pass Junior year. And finally, Gritty Brave Matt who could finally take in the secrets his brother kept from him all these years and unclutch the tight grip his dad had on him and be a Man. And as bonus, even get the girl of his dreams.

A coming-of-age novel I'm not ready to forget yet.
