Anthony's Recommendation
"The best book I've read all year. A sparse, powerful novel about friendship and toxic masculinity, deftly handled. Should be required reading for all 14 year old boys. There is a moment with a victim late in the novel that is so beautifully written and the ending is perfect. This #NewBookTuesday had me at "searing examination of male friendship and masculinity in an age of toxic loneliness." I will read any book with these words written on the back. Plus there's a gun in this one! I mean, there are always guns in these ones, but this gun is brought up specifically in the description. Yes!"
