I didn't find the story as engaging as Cold Water but oh God can this man WRITE. Pure poetry.

this is written very lyrical and descriptive. i would have really felt the high school, going into college, going into life growing pains a few years ago. but i still enjoyed reading stephen's navigation of it. i did love the repeating of several key phrases throughout the book. i thought it was a nice touch!
