Mandy Rubeli has once again blown me away with her honest, personable, insane, and brilliant writing.

A hilarious, heartfelt examination of adolescence, friendship, and mortality. Mandy has captured that horrible moment when you realize your friends are growing up faster than you are, and the understanding that things will never be the same. ...
