Review
Greek-American Evan Panos has just turned 18 and he needs to move out. His mother is abusive and his father avoids confronting the issues tearing the family apart. Evan's mother becomes increasingly abusive just as Evan begins to consider his sexuality and question his faith. Because this novel confronts identity, self-discovery, and finding personal power, it will appeal to readers who appreciate coming-of-age stories, especially those with LGBQT+ motifs.
Overall Book Score: excellent
