Liked that each title was a song, the 80s setting, and the exploration of Harry's friendships, but enjoyed Wise Young Fool more as a band novel.
Funny, engaging YA that's insightful about the life of Harry, who was almost struck by lightning when he was 8 (instead, he was burned by branches from the tree that was struck by lightning) and has grown up with literal and figurative scars from the experience. Like a mix of [b:Wonder 11387515 Wonder R.J. Palacio https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1366213431s/11387515.jpg 16319487] and [b:Fat Kid Rules the World 50925 Fat Kid Rules the World K.L.
