"Roskos perfectly captures the voice of a teen." Give this darkly funny debut to fans of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower." "Roskos' first novel is rich with hilarity and realistic inner dialogue. Bravely facing real sorrow, James confronts his problems with grace and courage." "Roskos effectively sketches James as a boy who is far more comfortable inside his own head than in connecting with others. "Author Roskos's strength lies in his refusal to tidy up the mess in James's life and in his relentless honesty about surviving with depression and anxiety." Captivating introspection from a winning character." "Self-deprecating humor abounds in this debut novel that pulls no punches about the experience of depression and anxiety for its teen protagonist. "Roskos has created a character that does not necessarily change throughout the book, but learns to live with himself as he is, to celebrate himself and those around him even as flawed as they are."
