I saw the twist, but since that wasn't the point of the book it was fine.
I had some good strong feels while reading this.

Okay, I'm gonna admit it...this book wasn't actually that bad as a book I had to read for school.
Although it was a pretty generical stiry about a whit cishet guy doing dumb shit and making his life better afterwards I was at least enthralled a bit in the story.
The story as well as the storytelling was average and nothing special.
The only thing I am gonna criticize is the fact that there was lack of some representation. Although there were two jewish characters, there were no confirmed BIPOC or LGBT+ characters.

I just love a book that can break your heart while making you laugh at the same time.

enjoyed it! if i were to marry a man named simon in the future, i will name our son alex in honor of this book :)
I really enjoyed the book...right up until the "benefit concert" part. Too much like Drums, Girls, etc.
But again Sonnenblick hits teenage angst and attitude with absolute precision. I enjoyed Alex's letter to the judge.
Of course, the "twist" was easy to figure out.
Still, a decent book for young adults.
