New Book Review

Northern Lights by Raymond Strom
Publication Date - February 12, 2019
🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2



I wasn't sure at first if I would like this book but as the story progressed, I found that as the story progressed that I really started to become immersed in the story and the atmosphere of the small Minnesota town.  It takes place in the late nineties as a teenage boy travels to the small town of Holm in search of his mother.  He encounters a depressing drug scene and prejudice against his long hair and sexuality.  He stumbles a lot as he tries to deal with his loneliness and confusion and makes so many mistakes but his loyalty and his overall attempts to turn his life around make him a likable character.  What the author most excels at are the descriptions of the town of Holm and the people that live there.  I could vividly visualize was it looks like from his depictions.  I received a digital ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
