Here comes the hardest part of the story to get through. Not in a bad way; it's just a lot.

:’(

Peter and Jordan are treating the rubdown incident with a casualness that is unfathomable in the year 2026.

I always forget the meeting of the glee clubs comes so soon; I'm somehow always under the impression it takes place a little further on.

Oh no, I tried to pinpoint an exact year this takes place and noticed an error: the Hamlet performance is Friday, November 9, but 1962 was the only year in the ‘60s where that lines up. That doesn’t work because there’s a couple references to the Vietnam War. (Though not enough, IMO; I would have liked if that were looming over the seniors like WWII in A Separate Peace.)

Jordan is here :) I wish everyone I know would read this book and talk to me about it.

Peter’s final day before Jordan shows up :)

Every time I go to a thrift store, I try to find a sport coat like the one Peter describes. I've come close a couple times but have yet to find anything close to my size.

The first 10% of the book is good setup, but I really start having fun here, when Peter leaves for Gilford.
