Fight Night por Miriam Toews
3.5 stars
Beautifully written. Though not YA, it would be great reading for 14 teens. Adults will recognize elements of their teenhood in the sharp observations of the protagonist.
I so wanted to like this book, but I found it boring, taking me weeks to read. I appreciate the premise, and the writing was good, I was just not engaged with the style in which it was written.
I wouldn't say don’t read it, I would say be prepared for a slow move and some questions about what you just read.
I would like to explain what the book is about but the inside flap explains it all. Period. It’s all there. Read the flap, you’ve read the book.

Un récit parfaitement maitrisé, très grave et pourtant assez léger dans la rédaction. Une grande réussite et énormément d'humanité.
