Waiting for Walker by Robin ReardonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so very different than anything I've read in a while. I loved the character of Micah, who's spending his last summer of high school at home with his functional alcoholic mother, who's grief stricken at the loss of Micah's older brother Dylan. As a photographer, Micah is shooting at the beach where he sees a blond boy, his age, and they quickly start a friendship that tests the bounds of family, status, gender and society.
There were so many different stories going on at once, each of them relating to love and acceptance. I really got a feel for each character and grew to want to see each one with a happy ever after. Walker was exceptional. He was so pure and truthful and refreshing. What a good, simple story full of such complex issues.
