Great coming-of-age thriller
Bewertet mit 4 Sternen
A perfect coming-of-age thriller that strongly reminded me of some of Stephen King's early works: The group of outsider kids, the bullying they have to face, the horrific summer that changes their lives forever, that strips them off their youthful innocence and plunges them right into adulthood, whether they are ready or not.
It perfectly shows how one false decision can unleash a catastrophic chain of events with no return. Of course, as an adult we see that several decisions made were completely childish and unreasonable, but at the same time I wondered if I wouldn't have reacted the same way at that young age when everything seemed possible. A compelling read, and highly recommended!
