I have enjoyed all of Malfi's books that I have read. It's surprising to me how different each of them has been. I never know quite what to expect. I find that to be a good thing. This one is mostly a coming of age story but one with monsters (both real and imagined). It takes place in the 90s so the nostalgia was nice. It has scary scenes throughout and a surprising conclusion. But it is also a beautiful book of friendships, families and community.
