This was ok, but could have been better. It felt very " I'm not like other nerds" lol! I wish this book had focused more on the nerdy side of Sonny, more DND, more nerding out, more of that geek culture. Sonny is presented as an underdog, but nerd culture has changed a lot in the past 15-20 years. Nerds are no longer the subculture, it's celebrated! I liked Sonny and his family. I wanted more about his relationship with his brother.
Yoon uses the phrase "I threw my eyes" or some variation a LOT. It's not a big deal, just a writing pet peeve of mine.
CW: Family estrangement, sexual humor, gross-out humor, bullying, lying, teen drinking.
