How darn much fun can this be!?

This book is just down-right fun. I read this in bed, laughing, and was getting some pretty strange looks from my husband. Read about the kid who is so love-sick he moves out of his bedroom and into his tent in the back yard. He stays there long past this love-of-his-life turns stale. The tent gets stale too. He lives in it for a very long time. Beautifully written teenage-angst. These stories range from humor to thoughtful prose. What a treat.
