I've been a fan of Marcy Dermansky's work for a while, but this may be my favorite book of hers yet, and one of my favorite reads of the year so far. To talk about this book is to kind of ruin it...better to approach it without preconceptions, and just live it alongside her uniquely compelling character, Alison. This novel is fresh, funny, deeply human, and unforgettable. Just read it!
