Quirky. Fun. And of course, living in Austin didn't hurt much since I knew exactly what he was talking about with plastic fields for football. Norris Kaplan has just moved to Austin with his mom from Canada. It is there that he realizes that he isn't all that great at making friends more than making scenes with his witty yet offensive banter, including when he has a literal run-in with the cheerleaders. But a few people take a chance on him and decide to be his friend. He has his ups and downs, as any typical high schooler does. He has a crush, and friend, and that loner guy that seems to put sense into his world, who was, in my opinion, the best character in the book (go team Liam!) Plus, I couldn't help but see Ben Philippe in the role of Norris, so imagining his expressions and inflections was very easy to do. Anyway, this is a funny LOL book that will appeal to anyone who likes a good realistic fiction with equal parts romance and snark.
