The whole thing felt a little detached. ( )

This is a book, which deals with child abuse. But instead of going into detail about the horrible things, that Linus had to endure, it focuses on his present and future.

While reading I felt really bad for the main character at times. And then his hope and delight got through to me and I had no choice but to share his thrill about his first love, share his fear of discovery.

Lucky Linus is a fast, emotional read with a rather sudden but nonetheless satisfying end.

Trigger warning: (sexual) abuse, homophobia, bullying

I was provided by NetGalley with a free ARC in exchange for a honest review. Thank you. ( )
