Why read it?

1 author picked The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

These are real people; they have to be because I’ve never read a book and felt more like I knew the characters in real life. The dialogue makes me feel like a teen riding in the backseat with friends, at a crossroads in life, flying by the seat of my pants.
