Where the Dead Sit Talking by Brandon Hobson

dark emotional

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.5

This was a tough read. Hobson takes us inside the mind of a teenage boy who is in the foster system. He has experienced trauma, so we see his attempts to cope and to find himself outside of the trauma. It's thought-provoking. 
Lots of TWs.
