The Taking of Jake Livingston by Ryan Douglass
4.5
AUDIO // (4.5 Stars) Please look up the trigger warnings for this book before reading. The ones that I can identify include: school shooting, sexual assault, physical violence, racism, homophobia, and death.
Since this is a YA horror, I was not expecting as much dark stuff as the book included but I really loved this book. I’m impressed by the atmosphere building and how much I rooted for Jake. I also really appreciated the inclusion of a gay character without it being the whole story; it feels very genuine rather than token representation.
