This book...I think it was beautiful and frustrating, uncomfortable and thought provoking, sweet and funny with rough edges. It reminded me a lot of Juno if Juno had been a lot darker. There were some plot aspects that irked the shit out of me but the writing was genuinely really brilliant while maintaining simplicity. This little book has a lot of feelings a lot to say, packing a big punch.
Something I didn't know about this one going in is that it is actually set in 2011 and the characters carry around iPods. I miss this era and I was so pleased that a book put me back there.
Also I want to try pickles on pizza now.
