The premise is really serious, but the way the boys talk and deal rings true. At the very least you'll learn some good Scottish slang and curses, and at the most boys will find a character to relate to. I'll be curious to hear what the boys really think about it. I'm not quite sure why this book ended up on my TBR list, but the starting point was interesting: three teenage boys are grieving after the sudden death of the fourth boy in their friendship group, and they find the action of many others false. So they go on a journey with the urn to take Ross to a place he'd never been but always wanted to go, Ross in Scotland. But the journey doesn't quite go to plan, and over time it becomes obvious everybody, even Ross, was keeping something back, and those things slowly start to come into the open. I didn't really get into the story that deeply at any point but kept reading so I could finish the book to move on to something else.
(3) YA British teens Kenny, Sim, and Blake, grieving over the loss of their disturbed friend Ross, undertake a journey to give Ross a "real funeral" in Scotland. During their trip, the three young men come to terms with themselves and the realization that their friend's death was not accidental. Genuine characters and adventures that go from wacky to challenging make this a heartfelt, engaging read.
