Book 10 of 2024! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This read like a mix of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. Thank you Becca's "Blind Date" Books! I got this one from one of your packages!

Here‘s the deal with Andrew Smith. He writes coming of age really well. He portrays the conversations that teen boys have really well. But a lot of his books tend to be in this same vein. I liked this one better than The Alex Crow. But man, did I hate the class clown types growing up. Cade and I would have fought, a lot. Writing is solid. Finn is wonderful, so it‘s a pick. #bookspin for this month! #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

This was a great coming-of-age novel with several laugh-out-loud moments throughout. The characters all had distinct personalities and voices, and the main character's obsession with calculating time through distance was a quirk I haven't seen before in YA literature. There were a few parts that started to feel kind of repetitive, but for the most part it was a quick, enjoyable read.

Finn Easton, sixteen and epileptic, struggles to feel like more than just a character in his father's cult-classic novels. When his girlfriend moves away, he and his friend take a quirky road trip! I found this book at the #library when it was still open and chose it bc of the cover! Loved it

It took me a while to get into this but I finally finiahed it. While it wasn't something great it got better about midway through it.

A funny, different book with authentic, teenage boy dialog that makes this YA book stand out. #RITeenBookNominees

Eh? It had a couple of unique aspects that I could see carrying a book if they were developed differently. I'm reminded of The Age of Miracles, which also had an enticing premise but ultimately disappointed.

Another Andrew Smith book has blown me away! What a beautiful coming-of-age story. Smith has such a way with the teenage boy's voice. And give yourself a treat and listen to the audiobook of this one, because so does narrator Kirby Heyborne.

kgriffith Just started this audio today! 8y
ipushbooks Glad to hear it :) 8y
Eggs @GlitterFemme do you have any recommendations for other Andrew Smith books? 8y
kgriffith I don't, this is the only one I've read, sorry! 8y
ipushbooks I have loved everything by him I have read. Hard to pick a favorite. Winger is top-notch realistic fiction. Grasshopper Jungle is intriguing science fiction but with hearty dose of YA stuff. The Alex Crow will really make you think.... 8y

3 🌟 I liked but didn't love this one. Seemed like the author was trying hard - but failing - to be John Green.

"I am not the only one who's ever been trapped inside a book." Finn Easton has epilepsy and a horse fell from the sky onto him and he's the subject of his father's books and he's in love and he has typical teen boy problems. The answer? A road trip. Funny and raw and real. Good stuff.
