Took me awhile to finish, but I found myself reading slowly to really digest and appreciate the almost stream-of-consciousness narration. The story feels deeply personal, likely even autobiographical. It’s too bad this book is no longer in print - it’s a mature coming of age story that would still resonate, especially with young male readers. RIP Ben Shecter 🌈

One of my very favorite books when I was little.
