This was an ARC provided by NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. Compound Fracture will be released September 3rd 2024.

I rated it 3.5 stars. This was hard to rate. There were lots of great stuff, but also some 'points' and plots that missed.

First off, the good stuff. The story took turns that I did not expect, but it was still somewhat realistic. The story was good and solid, and had me intrigued and hooked pretty early on. I was not sure where the story was headed, but I was not disappointed with the result! 
The queer representation and disability representation are a big plus, and was handled really well. I'm bisexual myself, and could definitely relate to many of the queer struggles that were mentioned in Compound Fracture. 

On to the 'bad' stuff. I feel like many parts of the book were dragged out, to the point that I forgot where I was in the story. The inner monologue was important, but at some points it went on for pages when it shouldn't have. 
I also think the relationship between the characters had much more potential that wasn't used. The only relationship I found 'deeper' was Miles' relationship with his parents and Connor. There was so much more to explore with Dallas and the other characters, and this was honestly a missed opportunity. The sub-plot with Dallas had so much potential, but fell flat, in my opinion.

Overall, I enjoyed Compound Fracture and would definitely recommend it. I haven't read anything by Andrew Joseph White (yet, I haven't finished The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), so I can't compare it to earlier books. 
I might also be harsher than most, as none of the reviews by others mention what I considered 'bad'😅
