28 BOYS by A. Giannoccaro
— SYNOPSIS —
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.

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.
