The Lost Boys of Montauk by Amanda M. Fairbanks

3.0

I thought this was decent because of my connection to Long Island and Montauk. Otherwise I think it would have been fairly boring. I almost feel like the author didn't have enough for a story here. Maybe for an essay, but I felt it was a stretch for a 300 page book.

It ends up being part biography of these men who went missing, part history of Montauk and then a lot of side streets that go nowhere (pages about tilefish, some detours about grief, etc etc). Bit meandering like it didn't know what it wanted to be.
