“This funny, wrenching, often heartbreaking novel…brings contemporary
characters and authentic street atmosphere, not to mention dogs and
dysfunction, to the age-old story of two teenagers—here, same side of
the tracks but different ends of the academic spectrum—in the bliss of
first love…Griffin gracefully answers questions and solves mysteries,
leaving us with hope and a smile without making things falsely shiny and
bright.”
