I fell in love with this book the way Maggie falls for Erin — one single touch and I was ruined for the rest of the summer. For Maggie that touch was when Erin checked her hair for lice; for me, that touch was on page 36 when Maggie and her team dress up as the Backstreet Boys for the camp talent show and perform to “I Want it That Way.” Young Maggie Thrash doing a drag performance at camp before she even knew she was queer is like, totally the coolest thing ever. Once I saw that I couldn’t help but be obsessed with this book. I wanted to devour it, and I did, finishing it as fast as I could.

Ode to Skinny Jeans: We’ll Never Let Go!

Mean girl whispers about skinny jeans being SO OUT RIGHT NOW have been in circulation since at least 2011, crescendoed once again last year, and now it seems like half the internet is stomping around in 1970s jeans roaring Down with fascist skinny jeans! Up with bootcut freedom flares! which deserves one of three replies:

A. That is so extra. You have, like, no chill.
B. GO AHEAD, PRY MY SKINNY JEANS OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.
C. Thank god, it’s about damn time. (Generally accompanied with a heaving sigh of relief.)
