Set in the suburbs of Philly! I saw so much of myself in this book, not just the setting, but also the love of your first car, and the wild things I did do, and planned to do in the car. The freedom, the exploration, all of it was just wonderful.

Giving a memoir a rating feels wrong but this one was and is very important explaining Elliot’s journey and past and just how destructive one can be to oneself due to society and familiar pressures.
