Jesse is a teen boy working out who he is, how he feels about girls and what the future of his family might be. In journalistic form perfectly suited to this novel, Jesse tells us what's happening to him and he gives us his opinions--intelligent and often hilarious--about life and the particularly difficult task of being a teenager. What's refreshing about Jesse is that he is smart and, despite being a bit uncomfortable in his own skin, he has an allegiance to himself and a healthy sense of humor.
Malachy Doyle writes Jesse with such simple grace that it's impossible not to care for him. An unforgettable story that will stay with you long after the last page.
