Promise Boys

3.5 stars!!!

This book was a cool mix of internal dialogue, police interviews, news reports, and witness statements. I liked that the mixed media aspect was used to tell the story of the school shooting and gave you hints throughout for who was guilty. It was a nice insight on these characters that are from different racial and financial backgrounds from me. There's strong friendships, mild romance, and characters with so many different home lives. The murder mystery had me interested and I was trying to put the clues together to figure out who killed the school principal. I did find myself waiting for it to be over after the 80% mark which lowered the rating by a lot. Definitely interested in checking out anything Nick Brooks writes in the future!
