Summary: “And right this second? Neon is locked in Aria’s bathroom, completely freaking out because twenty-four seconds from now he and Aria are about to…about to… Well, they won’t do anything if he can’t get out of his own head (all the advice, insecurities, and what ifs) and out of this bathroom!

Review: “Jason Reynolds has done it again! But in a totally new way. His take on Neon’s first time with Aria, his true love, is fresh from start to finish. Who wouldn’t want a first time partner like Neon? He’s tender and sweet and scared and funny. He’s a romantic. This is what it could be, should be, if only we were all as lucky as Aria. Girls (and everyone) wait for your Neon!” — Judy Blume, New York Times bestselling author of Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. and Forever…
