Charm and Strange
Charm and Strange | Stephanie Kuehn
A deftly woven and unnerving psychological thriller from debut author Stephanie Kuehn. Dont. Please dont say my name. You have no idea who I really am. No one really knows who Andrew Winston Winters is. Least of all himself. He is part Win, a lonely teenager exiled to a remote boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy. The guy who shuts the whole world out, no matter the cost, because his darkest fear is of himself . . . of the wolfish predator within. But hes also part Drew, the angry boy with violent impulses that control him. The boy who, one fateful summer, was part of something so terrible it came close to destroying him. Fans of Meg Rosoff, Kevin Brooks or Lionel Shrivers We Need to Talk About Kevin will be gripped by this story, but it is unlike anything you have ever read before. The pace, tension and raw emotion within this books for teens is almost palpable. Charm and Strange is a book that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.

Gorgeous deception of a story with an ending that left me awake. I feel like this book is significant that needs to be read

That was riveting. While the plot felt a little anticlimactic, the journey was still powerful. Win‘s thought processes in the present & the unveiling of his past was beautifully done with lyrical, gut-wrenching prose. Keith totally broke my heart into pieces. A powerful, compelling story about coping with trauma and loss. ★★★★☆.

What a dark book! I had no idea what this was about when I started, and I think that was for the best. Excellent.

nothing bad has ever happened to him. He just thinks it will. As if thinking will help. Thinking never helps.
