The characters, the writing, the narration, all of it! I liked Lionel and Dog together, even more so because of their differences. I adored Dog’s mom and sister, the softball team, and especially Lionel’s friend Carlos and Frida the Fiesta. I loved the overall message that it’s so hard to be ourselves because we are too busy being the person we think everyone wants us to be. Bonus points for the LOLs at butch clothes shopping for V-Bar, Lionel’s decompression after his first day of work, and pizza-sexual. Joel Leslie’s narration was just icing on the cake. He nailed it!!
