Shy by Max Porter

In this poignant exploration of adolescence, a troubled young boy grapples with the complexities of his emotions and the world around him. Set against the backdrop of a therapeutic boarding school, the narrative delves into the boy's internal struggles, his interactions with peers, and the adults who attempt to guide him. Through a blend of lyrical prose and raw honesty, the story captures the essence of vulnerability, the search for identity, and the journey towards self-acceptance in a world that often feels overwhelming and unforgiving.
