Description
Anthony "Ant" Stevenson isn't sure when he stopped being a virgin. Or even if he has. Relationships of all kinds feel complicated, especially for Ant and his friends. Charlie's homophobic views are at odds with his secret physical relationship with Ant, while Jack is targeted by Charlie's rage after becoming the subject of speculation about his own sexuality. Meanwhile, Josh wants Ant to ditch soccer and try out for rugby instead. Ant's story of loneliness and intimacy is told forthrightly, with a unique approach that uses redactions over the language teenagers might actually use if they weren't in a story. This structurally daring novel explores teen sexuality, friendship, and romance with a deft hand. Patrick Ness brings his expertise to this short novel, creating a fresh and honest portrayal of teenage life.
