Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork
5.0
Entering my reviews over from my old Goodreads profile I unearthed recently...here are some super sappy thoughts from 2010-era 15-year-old Claire!
I learned a lot from this book. Marcelo is engaging, insightful, human. Amazing. His voice is intriguing and entrancing, and his interactions with people are...well, there isn't a word to describe it. Suffice to say that I was blown away.
Also, I loved the blossoming affection between Jasmine and Marcelo. It was so tentative, so caring. So real.
