16yo Miles Abernathy came out to his parents in an email just before he left to join the seniors at their graduation party. On the way home he is horrifically assaulted by a group of boys - one of them is Noah, the Sheriff's son. There has been a generational blood feud between the Abernathy's and the Davis' family, so the law won't be stepping in. When Miles accidentally kills the boy who filmed the assault, Miles and his friend Cooper decide to finish it, and get rid of the others as well.
Wow, Compound Fracture caught me off guard. I knew it would be violent, just look at the front cover, but it was also political, exciting, and terrifying. I liked it more than I expected. It was very rural, very Appalachian, although it takes place in present day, they were still living with feuds and memories of injustice from 100 years ago. Very sweary, very violent. The characters are white
