Boy 7 by Mirjam Mous

3.0

It was good, mainly for the nostalgia and memories of reading this as a teenager. The writing was okay, but definitely leaning a bit towards middle grade, rather than ya. Also wouldn’t really call this a thriller, more dystopian? mystery? Ending was a bit rushed and felt a bit too.. easy? but not bad, enjoyed the little epilogue page that leaves you wondering. This isn’t something I would normally pick up nowadays, but would’ve probably rated this at least a 4 if i was still 13 and obsessed with these type of stories, but I could just tell i am no longer the target audience for this so dropped it to a three. Could still appreciate it though and it was very fun to reread and remember how i felt as a kid reading this for the first time.
