Citrus County by John Brandon
The novel is a dark and atmospheric tale set in a small, oppressive town in Florida, where the lives of two troubled teenagers, Toby and Shelby, become intertwined. Toby, a disaffected and aimless boy, commits a shocking crime that sends ripples through the community, while Shelby, a bright but lonely girl, becomes entangled in the aftermath. As their paths cross, they navigate the complexities of guilt, isolation, and the search for connection in a world that seems indifferent to their struggles. The story explores themes of alienation and the moral ambiguities of adolescence, all set against the backdrop of a seemingly mundane yet unsettling environment.
