Release
by Patrick Ness
Release by Patrick Ness explores a fascinating counterpoint between the stories of a gay preacher’s son, struggling under the crushing weight of his parent’s expectations and their lack of acceptance of his sexuality, and the walking ghost of a girl murdered by her reckless boyfriend. Ness raises pressing issues about the nature of love on a familial and romantic level, and handles the heaviness of his subject matter with sensitivity and humour.
