The gang from "Saving Francesca" are back, but this time the spotlight is on Thomas Mackee. This book can easily work as a stand-alone but I adore that we can go back and revisit some beloved characters from a favourite book of mine.

It's been a few years since the last book, and Thomas Mackee has no idea where his life is going. His family is drowning in loss and grief. They are disconnected and he feels hopeless. Tom isn't the same person he was back in high school, and while he wants nothing to do with those friends from his past, they just seem to keep popping up.

The Piper's Son is a magnificent story. I adore how Marchetta is able to really get into the nitty gritty of a character. The way she communicates loss, mental health, love and the power of relationships is incredible. I have so much respect for her and her writing, it is no wonder that as a teenager she was a favourite author of mine and yet still, to this day, she is still a favourite of mine.

The Piper's Son is an incredible tale, this is a story I would recommend over and over again!
