So much funnier than anything else you will read all year, the kind of book you want to read out loud to whomever happens to be sitting next to you ("NO REALLY wait until the scene with his dad where he orders pasta instead of steak and his dad is all like 'are you gay' and then by then end you are laughing so hard you are, like, dry heaving JUST WAIT UNTIL THAT PART." Our poor Support Team.) Also what may be one of the best books about New York ever written. Also what may be one of the best books about being a teenager who is way smarter and way sadder than everyone around you ever written. Also by the end we were crying. Just go get it. Seriously.

The cover alone makes me want to eat it up, and then your comments... yeah. Thanks for the recommendation. :)
I loved this book -- Cameron does the almost unbearably painful funny so well.
yes! incroyable!
Yep, definitely looks like a one-sitting read. Adding to my list as I write... Thanks for the recommendation!
I recently finished this book and LOVED IT!
Oh, HELL TO THE YES.
I LOVED this book so much. A sweet bookseller in P-town forced me to buy it last summer, after he heard me whining to my companion about all the crappy books I'd read lately. When I looked at it, I said something like, "Yeah, dude, you see these crow's feet, right? I stopped reading YA about 20 years ago," to which he replied, "oh, just shut up and trust me." I love P-town. So, it turns out I LOVE YA. Who knew? (Or, at least I loved the hell out of this book.)
WAAAAA!!! Good books are happening so much faster than I can read them!
