Listening to Trevor Noah tell his story of growing up in South Africa is a stunning combination of raw honesty, resiliency, pathos, and humor. His courage shines throughout.

A quirky & dysfunctional family that triumphs with love, and allowing each member to grieve at their own pace. Being an animal lover I appreciated all of the interspersed animal facts from 10 yr old Elvis. Over a two year span, she is the narrator of the story of her unusual family following the unexpected death of her mother. Elvis can teach all what it is like to live on the autism spectrum! Brava to @annie_harnett !!

Stunning! Joaquin, Grace, & Maya define & re-define what a family can be!

A favorite quote from John Green's compulsively readable new novel:
“You remember your first love because they show you, prove to you, that you can love and be loved, that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, that love is both how you become a person, and why.”

Jason Reynolds has another slam dunk of a book!
