Representaion Conducive To Books That One Kid Who Freaked Out, Or Whatever
Seventeen-year-old Nicandro Stellan Colby is doing his best not to completely freak out, despite the fact that his parents named him after a romance novel zombie, he has no clue what to do after his fast-approaching high school graduation from middle-of-nowhere Wilmurth, Texas, and oh yeah, he just accidentally asked out the boy of his dreams over the school intercom. But all is not lost. Helping Nick remember how to breathe and navigate the choppy waters of dating, surviving senior year, and even learning how to drive are fouled-mouthed lady-in-disguise, Carmen; always-sweaty yet fiercely loyal Connor; and, of course, the guiding hand of Sydney Walker, Nick’s longtime crush and first ever boyfriend. Yet when Nick starts having increasingly petrifying panic attacks, he soon realizes the vast difference between admiring someone from afar and falling under the pressures of their influence.Rating Containing Books That One Kid Who Freaked Out, Or Whatever

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did, but it just didn't do much for me. I liked some of the characters and the overall arc of Nick and his anxiety, but this just felt so all over the place and unfocused. maybe that was the author's intent? I suffer from anxiety and I felt there were some very real moments in the book that explored that but 1) the "freak out" didn't even happen until halfway through the book and 2) there were more moments that felt forced and awkward than felt rightThis book is exactly why I appreciate coming-of-age stories. I love how Bourque took a simple plot and made it into something beautifully complex. At the core, this book really just highlights the growth of one teenage boy.Nick, our main character, leads a typical teenage life but at the same time, he doesnt. In this book, we get the privilege of being inside Nicks mind and understanding what it means to be overwhelmed by changes youre not prepared to deal with but have to because its part of
4.5Full review to come!
This book was chosen for me to read, and so I finished reading it. But I didn't enjoy it at all. I wouldn't consider this a true romance book, but more of a teenager trying to figure out where he fits, and what he really wants out of life.There was not chemistry at all between the MC's, and when that happens it's really hard to stay invested in the story. Not for me.

Great story. Its much more than I thought it would be. Its funny, yet speaks to teens transitioning into adulthood about their inner turmoil and self worth. This book should be in every schools library. This book is Sofa King awesome!
Wow! That ended up being more intense than I expected. This book started very light-hearted and funny but as the story goes on it goes into deeper issues of self-esteem. Very much food for thought.
