Wasps in the Ice Cream by Tim McGregor
4.0
Teenager Mark and his group of rebellious friends enjoy playing pranks and causing havoc in their small town. When a prank gone wrong brings Mark closer to the town outcast, Georgia (George,) he's forced to choose between the friends he's always known, and the one person he can be himself with. A classic coming-of-age tale with a heartbreaking and supernatural twist.
I listened to the audiobook of this and really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would! I was expecting more of a dark story considering the genre (occult/supernatural/light horror) but there is very little of that aspect in this. It's slow-paced and centers primarily around the friendship that develops between Mark and George, while everyone around them wants to keep them apart. I listened to this in one sitting and was engrossed even though it isn't particularly action-packed or "exciting."
The detail and description of every character's personality, background, and attitude was exceptional. This was sort of out of my normal realm of genre, but it was wonderfully written and kept my attention, regardless! Definitely recommend!
