"Cute animal characters tell the coming-of-age tale of an awkward, unreciprocated queer crush in Rust Belt America."-- "Camden is a cat. Camden is also crushing hard on his best buddy and all-around bad influence, Jeremiah. Young, bored, and trapped in a decomposing Rust Belt town, Camden goes along with every awful idea, every hair-brained plan, and every threat to life and limb Jeremiah can come up with. But how much longer can this go on? With acute perception and sensitive wit, Jon Allen explores the depths of teenage yearning below the deceptively shallow details of everyday life in a powerful, page-turning coming-of-age tale."--Page [4] of cover.… (more)

*Received via NetGalley for review*

A beautiful, melancholy, and true to life story about a young man maturing and drifting away from his best friend, not only because they have different interests and personalities, but because one of them is gay.

The art is atmospheric and serviceable, the emotions are raw and honest, and it flies by in the reading, even at 400 pages. ( )

Teen angst alert! Set in the 1990s, this is a coming of age story about a gay teen in love with his best friend, a crass metalhead who is a bad influence to say the least. There are some bullies, some homophobia, and a whole lot of moping.

It not bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to care about any of it. ( )
