Well written and gritty.
This book was very different to what I normally listen to. I think it was described to me as a young adult book written for adults. I think this is a fair description. Living in a country that has suffered from school shootings, I didn’t know if I could face a possible pipe bomb theme.
Bullying, teasing, mental illness and PTSD are really real and heartbreaking.
I was glad Olly got the support he needed. But I feel the last 20 minutes of the book was absolutely spot on. His wise gramps felt the guilt that he could have done more - but if we don’t know, we can miss the signs. He was also able to have a frank conversation in the car journey and saying what can never happen again. I think the parents of the bullies are the ones who miss the signs...or maybe turn a blind eye.
The narrator was very good. He got the tone of teen boys perfectly.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
