The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass
5.0
OMG!!! This book was SO much more than I expected. Like horror and looking for an intense ghost story....this is it! Looking for a book about death/grief/self acceptance...this is it! Looking for an LGBTQ+ coming of age? A high school experience? A bullying book? Family drama? Yes yes and more yes.
If there is such a thing as literary horror, that is what I would classify this novel as. To anyone who ever thinks YA lit us not complicated and nuanced or cannot be those things AND be accessible, page turning, and utterly absorbing - this is the novel to change thier mind.
