Charming as a Verb by Ben Philippe
4.0

I love Ben Philippe's writing--he's successfully pulled off the POV voice of a character who's defined by being super charming (as a verb). Henri also feels authentically teenage as he grapples with his Haitian-American upbringing and the privileged world he's adjacent to--when he makes mistakes I clawed my face and said noooooo aloud but you get where he's coming from. In a word...charming.
