‘Night Owls’ follows the adventures of two teenage artists who whilst,
separately following their dreams meet on a late night bus and soon become
something more than just strangers. Real and authentic, this book is a rare gem
that I don’t want to share but feel the duty to do so. In the months leading up
to me reading this book I was beginning to grow tired of the constant stream of
unoriginal YA books all claiming to be ‘masterpieces of their time’ and ‘the
only young adult book you need to read’ I wasn’t enjoying them and they had
nothing to offer in terms of originality. Then I was shown this book and the
cycle was broken.
Everything about this novel demands attention, from the first
page it grips you by the shoulders and continues to hold you days after the
last line has been read. Our two main characters, Jack and Beatrix are
instantly likable and interesting, both completely different but compatible in
a way that makes you envy them. As you slowly fall more in love with these
characters more twists, turns and secrets are woven perfectly into the plot
leaving you interested and not feeling like it will be a chore to finish the
book. It’s original, funny, heart-felt and all out swoon worthy cute, leaving
butterflies in your stomach for days. In the competitive world of writing there
is so much to love and so much more to buy, but if you don’t do anything else
today but buy this book you’ve done something right.
The book is due for release in October, watch our shelves.
