“I was a junior in high school at the same time as Brian and although I can't claim to have discovered the Misfits or 7 Seconds that early (my husband was that cool in high school), it was both traumatic and entertaining to relive the early nineties through Meno's depiction of fashion, music and cultural trends.
The voice in this is so pitch perfect-- hitting all the hard notes (the "demons of racial intolerance, Catholic school conformism and class repression" of the blurb), but doing it lightly, without dark tones.
The characters are great--sympathetic but flawed. Brian can be dumb, he can be a jerk, he embarrasses himself and he doesn't shy away from relating his asshole moves. But at the same time, you cut him slack because you were him, or you dated him or you were best friends with him and now you wonder if you can find him in Facebook and see what he's up to these days.”
