Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

5.0

I liked this book so much. I really liked the narrator, who is a "quirky teen" but in truly nerdy ways, and truly heartfelt ways. Brunt does such a good job of portraying sibling relationships and a teen who isn't written as a YA trope, and of using the earlyish stages of the AIDS epidemic in the mid-1980s in a clever but also emotionally resonant way.
