Absolutely Almost by Lisa Graff

5.0

I wish I had moved this one up on my reading list much, much sooner. It had been sitting patiently in my leaning tower of TBR for at least six months. I had no idea. Please excuse me, Lisa Graff.

Absolutely Almost is the story of navigating a road that is completely unchartered (parents, school, friends) for Albie and his inner circle. It's a love letter to NYC. It's a tale about bullying, listening to your heart and recognizing the important role that we all play in each other's lives. This is a story ripe with mentor passages waiting to be read aloud. I know. I read "The thing about New York City" chapter aloud to tempt my readers to read the book and to show the clever use of repetition.

Highly recommended.
