Surrender Your Sons by Adam Sass
5.0
I've now read all of Adam Sass's books, and it is just so evidently clear that he is one of the most talented YA authors in the game right now. His writing style is clever & filled with wit, but it's also emotionally engaging & affecting.
With Surrender Your Sons, we get a story that is absolutely horrifying -- one that shakes you to your core. When I say I could not put this book down, I mean it. I sat in the same spot for 4 hours as I finished it. Some of the turns were alluded to early on, but there were plenty of twists and plot points that I had absolutely no idea were coming.
Connor is the heart of our story, and he was a wonderful protagonist. He was resourceful, resilient, and so likable. Adam has the ability to create incredibly & realistic characters that you can form a bond with for the duration of the book, and that is exactly what he has done here.
When all was said and done, I had laughed, I had cried, and I had reflected on where our society is both at AND where it is going. And that territory is often frightening.
Adam Sass is an auto-buy author for me at this point.
Are you seeking a thrilling, suspenseful novel that manages to celebrate queer liberation and individuality? This one's for you.
