Ray Ryan was a very powerful book that moved me emotionally. Our protagonist is defeated, discouraged, met with obstacles, and we get to witness his experience first hand. I think his perspective lent so much to the overall development of the story. As a coming-of-age novel, it managed to balance themes of nostalgia of youth and being thrust into adulthood really well. In a sense, many of Ray Ryan's struggles are his own rites of passage.Aiden Riley composed his book with such finesse - Ray Ryan is so well-written. It takes you through a whirlwind of experiences and forces you reminisce on your own saga as well. I consider this to be one of my best highly recommended books!
