Fairy Boys
by Daniel Tawse
I love this book, it had me laughing and crying and had my heart pounding at one point, I may have also had a minor wheeze-laugh moment (you'll see!) Star is so lovely, I went from wanting to protect him to cheering him on. Kitty is my favourite character, she gets the best line in the whole book " I'm your worst nightmare lads - a woman with a mind of her own." I love it.
Fairy Boys has a strong LGBTQ+ theme which I love, but it's also so much more than that, it deals with grief and healing, it's about finding yourself and your place in the world, it carries such a beautiful message of belonging, of knowing that you matter, about the importance of family, it is beautifully descriptive and filled with magic. I can picture what I imagine the beaches and the cottage looking like so clearly in my mind. The ending of the book could have gone in several different directions and I think the author carried it out beautifully, I love how everything came together. I hope there'll be a follow up book!
