This is maybe the... 4th? Time reading TMBS? So obviously, I adore it. It speaks to any kid who felt different, like an adult in a kid's body, too weird, too intellectual, or like an outcast. It's basically for G&T, ND people who can thoroughly enjoy an innocent story with great plotline and no raucous or raunchy shock factor. It's just great writing, great wordbuilding electric platonic chemistry, and deep characters. It's clever, emotional, and presents a beautiful look into what it means to be human. OH! And it's so funny, in such a casual way.

I give Del Roy 5/5⭐️'s. His vocal performance has the timbre to grab & keep your attention but a soft enough style to be soothing. He doesn't over-act or lack emotion; he's perfect!
