Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Man, I just laughed my butt off all the way through this. Every single page has some smart observation or clever reference or rude comment that kept making me bust up. I'd read the stuff out loud to my friends and they kept being like "okay, let's hear another one." But that would get tiring if that's all it was. This book deals in a totally real way with fighting, sex, friendship...a lot of teen guy stuff. But girl stuff, too. None of the girls are doormats like in a lot of guy books. They're totally there, holding their own. There is no pretending in this book, it's all sweat, going down to the mat, tattoos and guitars and distortion. But also just goofing around with friends, trying to talk to a girl at a party, wondering if you're cool enough. It's like someone's real diary. Which (spoiler) maybe it is. I was totally pissed when it ended, I wanted another hundred pages more!

I agree with the comments above. This is a great one. The world of this high school is so bizarre- but it's so well done that it's completely believable. Same with some of the language - completely made up - but by chapter two - you speak the language of the book too. Some really great characters here - even the minor characters are memorable as heck. Anyway - I don't think you can go wrong here. This is worth picking up for sure...
