At the beginning of the book, Neon is in the bathroom, trying to calm himself down and get out of his own head. From there, the story is told backwards, from 24 minutes ago, to 24 hours ago and so on. Along the way, we get to understand how Neon and Aria’s relationship has developed, and to meet the characters in Neon’s life who have given him different perspectives about love and sex and relationships. From Gammy, still mourning her beloved husband, to Neon’s straight-talking mom and his dad of few words, he learns a lot about consent and vulnerability. All the characters are very well-drawn, and it is a funny, moving love story, told from a teen boy’s perspective. - Mia H., Hopkins Library Show less
