Review
"A witty and highly entertaining exploration of love, friendship, and misunderstanding....The themes of sexual exploration and sexual identity, as well as strong language, which is entirely appropriate for the characters and setting, make this a book for older teens, who will love the oh-so-hip music and pop-culture references." School Library Journal
