Thank you Netgalley for this audio edition of Read Between the Lies by Malcolm Duffy.
What a great YA novel for everyone! This is a story between two boys who, through marriage, are forced to be brothers. They could not be more different, and struggle to like or understand each other until it turns out that they share something similar, dyslexia. Now one of the boys can help the other when tasked with a very public reading, helping them form bonds, as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.
I'm used to most YA books having strong sexual themes, because, DUH, teens. But I have to say, there was something really refreshing about the soul focus of this story being a shared learning disorder, as well as family issues. I have no problems addressing sexuality, obviously it's a huge part in most people's lives, but I can see this story being a very important read to a lot of people. And I also think, despite the fact that one of the boys just got out of juvvie, most people would deem this clean enough for a younger audience.
