I had such high hopes for the book. The first sentence had me. But alas, it fell short.

One Brother Shy by Terry Fallis is a life-like story following Alex MacASkill, a chronically shy software engineer in his twenties, on a mission around the world to find and reunite family he didn't even know existed until after the unfortunate passing of his mother. Haunted by a traumatic high school experience known only as 'Gabriel', he learns about identity and the importance of family. I personally think Terry Fallis outdid himself with this novel. It is funny, heart-wrenching, sensitive and full of twists, much like its main protagonist, Alex and his journey. Unlike other books, One Brother Shy is fast-paced, but makes sure not to pass over important details to the plot. Honestly, it lets you fill in the puzzle pieces along with Alex. Lastly, the format of this book is unlike any other. A notable example is the name of the chapters. Instead of something that would describe the chapter itself, Terry Fallis gives us crucial information about why Alex acts the way he does - shy and reluctant to talk to people. I recommend this book to those that enjoy sad but comical novels as well as those who just want to read a down-to-earth story. One Brother Shy has a bit of everything; facial recognition technology, to hockey, to spies, a bit of romance, and even a touch of real life historical events. It's really a rollercoaster of emotions, and if you are looking for a book to read, look no further than One Brother Shy by Terry Fallis.

Good ??

Rex found his father and braki in the jungle while go go and Patchy are stuck in a volcano

Awesome book 2. Like before, it's really simple and fun to read. Speedy and Cranky chicken are the best bff's ever :)

Very cute ??

im sorry but this book made zero sense, and was very disappointing. I feel like this book was so slow paced, like nothing really happened, until the very end, and then the entire ending was rushed and only lasted about 30 pages. I also don’t understand how Juliette was just able to kill the brainwashedness in her. The fact that she was able to remember everything makes zero sense and is insanely unbelievable. I also really did not like what the author did to Aaron this book. It feels like all of his character development was just taken back the second Juliette was removed from the situation. Also, whatever predatorial stuff was happening between Anderson and Juliette was weird as shit. Why is he making her call her master? THIS IS GROSS. It’s not even gross and like the “this was written so well way”, it was just disturbing. I only really gave this book as high as a rating as I did because of the moments with the entire friend group, and that was it. Those were really the only moments I enjoyed. Overall, I’m really disappointed in this book and I hope that the novella is much better.
