Run for the Hills by Kevin Wilson
I love Kevin Wilson’s books and was lucky to get to see him at a bookstore talking about this latest novel. He has such a unique approach to his story ideas and fleshing them out. And then such an amazing way of putting these concepts into words.
I kept flagging certain lines that opened my eyes to how and why I (or other people) think and feel certain ways. It made me feel like I was getting to know these new people on such a deep level - not just the kids, but also their mothers. And then the dad… wow.
When the overall story concept was introduced, I had no idea how it would be resolved. Would they never make it to the dad? Would he be impossible to find? Would he be a jerk? Would he run away? I thought of everything except what actually happened, and it was perfect. It didn’t feel like a rip-off.
I think this might be my favorite Kevin Wilson novel yet, and that’s saying a lot. I think I'm actually going to re-read all of his books this summer.
