This book was EVERYTHING. Absolutely delightful (and so nostalgic for life in Jersey/Philly) Made me laugh and weep and feel hope again.

This is one of the most honest and evocative queer coming of age books I've read. It takes itself seriously without coming off saccharine or brutal. The characters are well rounded and so easy to root for. I loved it. No notes.
