This could have possibly gone terribly wrong, but it didn’t. But with Release, there was none of that because it was just one day. Sometimes a whole day in a book consists of one singular conversation, and I am always left wondering what the heck happened the rest of the day. I absolutely loved the pacing of this book. This book is told from two perspectives over the course of one entire day. I would really love to say that I fall into the LOVE category, but sadly I fall more into the ‘don’t get it’ one. Release is a very particular kind of book, and I think people are either going to LOVE it, or kind of just… not get it. And all the while, lurking at the edges of the story, something extraordinary and unsettling is on a collision course. It’s a day of confrontation, running, sex, love, heartbreak, and maybe, just maybe, hope. It’s intense, and all the while, weirdness approaches…Īdam Thorn is having what will turn out to be the most unsettling, difficult day of his life, with relationships fracturing, a harrowing incident at work, and a showdown between this gay teen and his preacher father that changes everything. Inspired by Mrs Dalloway and Judy Blume’s Forever, Release is one day in the life of Adam Thorn, 17. ![]() How: A copy of this novel was provided by Walker Books Australia for review. ![]()
