Things That Grow

2021 • 336 pages

lovvved this one. Speaking, with love, as a former pretentious teen I feel like it'll be a hit with pretentious teens, the ones who are trying out books recommended by their teachers because they want to seem like they love Dorothy Parker but maybe they actually prefer to read books about vampires and maybe that's fine. I think there's also a shortage of books about kids being raised by a grandparent which is a pretty common situation so it's great to have a book on that. (Also, Urban Gay Uncle representation.)

Also it made me want to visit The Mount and meet MARGE omg!! (also the Cheesecake Factory)

I know John Green is a cliche comp author but for real, hand to John Green fans.
