Wolf-Boy by David Fitzpatrick

Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookreview #LBTYAHorror #LBTThriller #LBTLGBTQ for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Wolf Boy is a LGBTQ genre and is about Danny who is 16 teen years old. Danny is the main narrator the story. The story does go to past and present a few times and I liked how it jumps to this due to you understanding more what happened to Danny and why he was where he was in the present. I found it was easy to follow the story all the way through. It's about the summer of 1979 that changes his life not in a good way but that's just my opinion. I found Wolf Boy to me hard read due to the events that happened to Danny and felt for him emotionally and was sad by his struggles that happen to him due to people he thought where his friends Liam and Gracie. The story is written well and David Fitzpatrick has done his research well due to the topics that are mention in the book and tackle them well. I would say there are some trigger warnings in the book, drugs, and sex. The Wolf boy is totally different from what I have read before, and I am glad I read it . I found it interesting and gripping read. I needed to read to the end to found out what happen to Danny and I feel the ending was right for Danny and has a good plot. 5 stars. Blurb A coming of age story set in Provincetown, Truro, and Dennis Cape Cod during the summer of 1979. Sixteen-year-old Danny Halligan is seeking to define his sexual identity, struggling to navigate his feeling toward 18-year old childhood friend Liam Preston. Their lives spiral out of control when they meet 21-year-old Gracie Rose, a charismatic photographer and Yale dropout with a vision of a flesh festival on film. Danny finds his mind unraveling as he is caught up in a torrent of drugs, sex and photography. Entire days are lost in drug fueled grappling and flesh wars in a massive tree fort known as the Palace of the Palpable Pines. Gracie' s vision includes masking her subjects to maintain their anonymity. Liam becomes Lone Ranger while Danny' s fur covered mask transforms him into Wolf-Boy. Danny is left mentally and physically ravaged as Gracie gains ever more fame for her ground-breaking photographs, known as Transfiguration Photos.

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f

At first, it seems the daydream confection and cheap sack children are the best things that could have happened to the poor folk of the Hollow - after all, who has the money to rent their child from Storkhouse Services these days? But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening
