Thank you to Libro.FM's Educator ALC program for the copy of this audiobook.
I am not the target audience but I found this coming-of-age story from a disabled author about a disabled protagonist to be funny, interesting and worth the listen! Teens need more representation like this in literature. I hope Chaz Hayden is able to continue to share stories similar to this because it was funny and heartwarming. This book touches on relationships, substance abuse, romance, friendships, and dealing with the healthcare and educational systems as a disabled person. All the characters were well fleshed out and the situations seemed very realistic in terms of how adults and his parents would react.
