The title and the summary made me think this book would focus on Dill and his snake-wrangling father, but it was so much more than that. The story is told in alternating voices of three best friends as they begin their senior year: one knowing she is OUTTA THERE, one being OK with staying exactly where he is because he has his stories to escape into, and one not feeling like he can or is deserving of going anywhere but right where his father's crimes put him. I felt so many things while I read this: understand the whys behind their choices, the thought NONONONONO, the love the friends have for one another, frustration at how people are how they are even if it's not fair/right. It took some turns I did not expect, and I want to read whatever Jeff writes next.
