Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

Title: Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Author: Carol Rifka Brunt

Genre: Fiction

The only person that fourteen-year-old June feels really understands her is her Uncle Finn. He is a renowned painter who lives in New York City, and June’s best friend. When Finn dies of AIDS, June is shattered. But Finn’s death brings a new friend into June’s life, Finn’s partner Toby. June’s family blames Toby for Finn’s illness, and so June is forced to keep their friendship a secret.

This is a coming-of-age story that takes place in 1987. June’s age and the time period are important to remember while reading and reflecting on some of her choices. But overall, this was a wonderful book with engaging characters that kept me captivated throughout.
