About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager feels like their world is fracturing and they lack the words to describe the chaos. It is a perfect fit for a young person navigating the emotional fallout of a parent coming out and a subsequent family divorce. The story follows Darren, a teen who processes his life through exhaustive, humorous, and deeply honest lists. It tackles themes of identity, family loyalty, and the awkwardness of growing up with a unique, experimental structure. Parents will appreciate how it validates the 'insanity' of adolescence while maintaining a grounded, hopeful outlook on family transitions.
