Teen-age angst and a mid-life crisis clash on a school bus in Monmouth County, New Jersey, and the relationship between a father and his son faces its inevitable change. I don't think I've ever read as tender and honest a father-son story as Hilton has created here, and this slice-of-life, coming-of-age drama charms, yet cuts deeply by continuously peeling away layers and layers of feeling and meaning until one is gutted by the sheer sensitivity, beauty and truth invested in both the storytelling and characters. An absolutely lovely work. ”
