A dark coming-of-age novella. The God Fix by Chad Alexander packs a whole lot of story into its 95 pages. Split into three parts and follows Matt’s encounters with his extended family over a period of years. When visiting his aunt, uncles and cousins in Greater Manchester, Matt uncovers a dark family secret that leaves him wanting revenge on his uncle. The imagery in the colourful stained glass window against the stark black background on the cover seemed really sinister to me before I’d even read what the book was about. As you start to read you’re brought into Matt’s world with the first person narrative while he navigates the difficulties of new family dynamics, the coming of age tensions of peer pressure and curiosity and finally the struggle of revenge and forgiveness. This is a dark coming of age tale that features complex and upsetting issues. True to this coming of age theme is the realistic but depressing realisation that sometimes those you think deserve punishment or retribution don’t always get it. The characters in The God Fix are complex and I could see book groups having plenty of material to analyse the nuances and motivations of each. The story flows quickly and though there is a lot of plot condensed into this novella I think the pacing is perfect, it doesn’t feel rushed or too dense. In all, The God Fix is a dark, character-focused, coming of age novella with tons of nuance that would appeal to literary and family drama readers.
