All the terror and wonder of that first true love, masterfully detailed with true emotional rigor and blinding wit. My fifteen-year-old self wants to scream into a pillow with joy. – David Yoon, New York Times bestselling author of * Frankly in Love *

Beautiful prose, characters that breathe, and a voice so thick you could swim in it—I am fully here for this book. – - * David Arnold, New York Times bestselling author of The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik and Mosquitoland *
