Reviews
"Beautifully written." --Reviews by Amos Lassen
"Dave Hopes grants us entry into the wondrous, highly charged world of young male friendship once upon a time. The setting is lovely and nostalgic. I wanted to know all about it, and I even wished I could live there. But there is trouble underneath, and there are things that just cannot happen. Until they do. A pitch-perfect exploration of the terrors and pleasures of American adolescence." --David Pratt, author of Wallaçonia and Bob the Book
