What They Always Tell Us


What They Always Tell Us by Martin Wilson
First time author Martin Wilson has created a wonderful story of two brothers: Alex, a high school junior and James, a senior. Alex has become estranged from his family and friends because of an "incident". With touching realism, Wilson recounts Alex's struggle to find his place in a world that doesn't understand him and James' struggle to understand himself and what it means to be a brother. Lots of well-drawn characters in this book. A great read!

Great characters, and I loved the relationships between the brothers and their friends.
