Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

katrina_ingram's review against another edition

4.5

This was just wonderful!! I loved the diverse characters and how their feelings on being accepted were explored in the story. I loved the setting so much, I felt really immersed in the cemetery without it feeling spooky. I loved the plot, the mystery element that they were trying to solve was really interesting. And I adored the romance, it gave me all the feels!! Now I need to immediately add their other books to my priority tbr

Great listen on audiobook! It's a super interesting world and concept and, while I predicted some of the things that happened, there were twists ai hadn't expected and kept the whole thing fresh.

More like a 3.5-7/5 stars! I thought there would be more mystery solving with plot involved, so I was disappointed to find out it was mostly coming-of-age & relationships. Otherwise, I liked the characters and enjoyed reading about the culture!
