Description
* Konigsberg demonstrates once again why he is one of the major voices in LGBTQ literature. Booklist, starred review
Max: Chill. Sports. Video games. Gay and not a big deal, not to him, not to his mom, not to his buddies. And a secret: An encounter with an older kid that makes it hard to breathe, one that he doesnt want to think about, : The opposite of chill. Poetry. His wives and the Chandler Mall. Never been kissed and searching for Mr. Right, who probably wont like him anyway. And a secret: A spiraling out of control mother, and the knowledge that hes the only one who can keep the family from falling in a rickety, 1980s-era food truck called Coq Au Vinny. Add in prickly pears, cloud eggs, and a murky idea of whats considered locally sourced and organic. Place it all in Mesa, Arizona, in June, where the temp regularly hits 114. And top it off with a touch of undeniable chemistry between utter the course of one summer, two boys will have to face their biggest fears and decide what theyre willing to risk to get the thing they want the most.
