A "mesmerizing, poetic exploration of family, friendship, love and loss" by the author of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (The New York Times Book Review).

Sal used to know his place with his adoptive gay father, their loving Mexican American family, and his best friend, Samantha. But it's senior year, and suddenly Sal is throwing punches, questioning everything, and realizing he no longer knows himself. If Sal's not who he thought he was, who is he?

From the Printz Honor-winning author, this is "another stellar, gentle look into the emotional lives of teens on the cusp of adulthood" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

"The themes of love, social responsibility, death, and redemption are expertly intertwined with well-developed characters and a compelling story line. This complex, sensitive, and profoundly moving book is beautifully written and will stay with readers." -- School Library Journal (starred review

"Sal is one of those characters you wonder about after the book is closed." -- Booklist

"What the world needs now is a book like this one... Read it." -- Bill Konigsberg, Stonewall Award-winning author of Openly Straight
