Bolu is one of the laugh-out-loud funniest and sharpest of writers
working today. I fell in love with Kiki and the whole line-up of
loveable characters. It's smart, sexy, energetic and sums up the
realness of being attracted to someone you didn't necessarily
expect. I'm excited for everyone to read this book.
