Well-written and an intriguing read. Loved the line where he feigns surprise at her hobbies, have done this myself before.
Enjoyed the naievity of the characters.

I really enjoyed this. I like that it’s quirky without feeling forced, it’s really pleasent to look through the eyes of a character who has such a unique perception. Awes.

Excellent portrayal of a puberty, awkward self-consciousness, embarrassment, identity problems and infatuation. The whole spotty mess is as clear as his brother’s advice to stop. The polo mints are not exactly the perfect crime, more of what would be described as a ‘cry for help’. Shannon spots the problem (two polo mints is one too many), and responds brilliantly. The sudden self-awareness, the mutual craziness, the move from inner to outer, ” we are outside, Chorlton is raining” is a big growing-up moment. Happy story. I like it.
