Hi, I’ve posted about this before but it’s been a long time and it’s still on my mind so I’m trying again.
I’m looking for a book I read in high school English class around 2014-2018. It was most likely written by a Scottish author and I think was some kind of young adult crime/mystery/thriller novel. I think it had been fairly new at the time. I don’t remember finishing it in the time that we had, so it must’ve been a full length novel. In fact, we might have only gotten through a few chapters
Some details I remember:
• Two main characters alternating POVs
• One was a teen/young adult boy with a short sharp sounding name like Alex or Kai or something
• He was skinny and awkward and isolated from other teens (he might’ve been autistic but that could’ve just been a passing thought that my teacher mentioned)
• He liked to photograph people without them knowing and took photos of the other POV character because they lived near each other and he probably liked her
• The other POV was a teen/young adult girl who might have been new to the area
• She was involved in local politics in some way (possibly through her parents) and went to some youth meetings of some kind where she met an anarchist guy who she might’ve dated
• I don’t think the POV boy approved of the anarchist
• The two characters did meet at least once, the girl thought the boy is sweet and shy but that was probably before she found out about the pictures
Other thoughts I had:
• I’m pretty sure this was a crime novel although I don’t remember any specific crimes, but maybe I didn’t read enough to reach them
• I remember thinking the boy’s photos would probably end up being the key to solving the crime
• It’s also possible it was going to be a stalker story where the boy got more and more attached to the girl
• The boy’s name felt a little unusual, maybe a less common spelling like Alix or something
• I was convinced the title was The Photographer for a while but I can’t seem to find it when I look that name up so I’m not so sure now
• I associate the colours blue, grey and red with the memories so maybe those where the colours of the cover
• I don’t remember the cover having any people or objects, but maybe some curtains?
I know that’s a lot of info, but thanks for reading!
Just finished *The Will of the Many* and I’m down bad for protagonists who realize the “bad guy” had a point.
Looking for more books where:
1. The villain’s motivation makes sense, even if their methods don’t
2. Moral grey areas, not cartoon evil
3. Prefer adult fantasy/sci-fi, but open to YA if it’s not too trope-y
Already read: *Mistborn* era 1, *The Poppy War*, *Red Rising*
No love triangles or chosen-one farm boy stuff please. What am I missing?
