Release Blitz: 28 Boys by Ashleigh Giannoccano







28 Boys by Ashleigh Giannoccaro

Release Date: March 30, 2017






Underneath these gang tattoos beats a heart three times a year. I’m a slow puncture death, a murderer, a rapist, and a number. I killed my best friend. Death doesn’t stalk me, it walks ahead of me by twenty-eight paces.

I went home after I sold my soul to the devils. I thought life would begin, I was a free man, instead within days the bullets fly and my last hope dies with the slain. There is nothing left to live for in this world. I belong to the 28s, I’ll always belong to the 28s.

The woman across the road judges me, she hates me, and takes every opportunity to let me know it.
Yet, somehow, when grief etched our names down in the book of the dead, we dared be bold enough to find love.

I’m not a good man, and I’m not pretty. I come from the Cape Flats where my life was reduced to a prison cell number. In all this ugliness I found beauty, innocence, and forgiveness. I can’t forgive myself for the crimes I’ve committed, but I’ll die trying to earn hers.

In a world where nothing matters, she does. 





NOTE

28 Boys was so different than most books out there. This is, definitely, not a romance book. The writing was so amazing. I had a bit of a hard time relating to the characters but I think that was just due to this book being so unlike my normal reads. I did like Engela. I felt like she tried really hard to be a good mother. I think that is what most of us want.

Ashleigh has a great way of telling a story and pulling her readers in! I really think this book will open your eyes to the world and how some people could be living. If anything this book made me look around and really take value into what I have in life. It’s a great reminder to appreciate everything we have. This story is so unique and special! It’s a must read!!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
