2021 book 140

 Rainbow Rowell’s Wayward Son

The first time I read this book, I raced through it like “WHAT IS HAPPENING!/WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!” and the second time, when I saw where Rowell was going with things, I was into it a little more, because it’s deeper and more interesting than what I had initially anticipated. I mean there are still plenty of road trip adventures, but also a bunch of kids with unprocessed trauma trying to figure out their shit (or being in denial about their shit). This time around, it was weirdly bittersweet? So I have no idea where the third book will go, but I have great faith it will be full of surprises and be satisfying.
