Boy on Hold by JD Spero- Review by Lauren West

Boy on Hold by J.D. Spero
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was amazing and held so much depth. JD Spero touched upon multiple subjects that many can relate to( ie: mental illness, trauma, teenage angst, family dysfunction, etc. ) . This is a first for me by this author and I am eagerly awaiting the next novel.
7 year old Hen witness’s a brutal attack on his neighbor/babysitter Sally, and soon after his brother is arrested as the accused. As the events begin to truly spiral we view a family torn apart, innocence destroyed, and hidden secrets unearthed. Multiple POV were used and each character gave you piece to the puzzle. So many emotions were brought out in this wonderfully told story, and it became a friendly reminder about how little one can know about what goes on behind closed doors.
