I'm glad someone does or I never would have seen this, and wow. I'd have missed out. I'm still in shock about Adam (the real life Adam) wearing JEANS! And I'm happy to hear that the high school facial-hair issue resolved itself so nicely. Mostly, though, I'm glad you liked the book. I am also a big fan of "the good kind of jealousy," the kind that urges writers to write. I've read a lot of books that inspire that urge in me, and I'm sure one day yours will be one of them.
