(4) YA This verse novel follows boyfriends Vanilla and Hunter's sometimes conflicted relationship from seventh grade into high school as Vanilla realizes he's asexual. The thoughtful if sometimes overly sentimental poetry--in the voices of both boys and a genderqueer friend--shows adolescent sexuality and emotion from a variety of angles, with the foibles of still-maturing teens in full view.
