Never Mind The Goldbergs by Matthue Roth

4.0

Fabulous, Matthue. Another world opens up when you open the pages. Your dialogue is amazing. The main character is perfect: loveable, fierce, naive-and-worldly in a way that resonated with me personally (hello, my teenage years! I thought I was so smart). The plot is entertaining, as well as slightly surreal (well, LA is surreal, and you capture that brilliantly), and the characters are fleshed-out and real. YAY. I totally admit that I read all writing by friends and acquaintances with super-dooper low expectations, and was so delighted to be thus surprised.
