Another great YA from Matthew Quick

Every Exquisite Thing
by Matthew Quick

Quote:
But his writing that novel led to lives being changed...and Booker being happy in love now with Sandra Tagget which he never could  have foreseen when he dreamed up Wrigley's world. And so maybe it isn't the motivating factors that matter so much as simply participating...thrusting your best true authentic self into the universe with wild abandon.

You have to read it to see what led up to this insight.  And other insights, which I'm deliberately not quoting. I'll just say it's the kind of book for teenagers--or for anyone-- that I wish I could write.

And I wish I could force a few of my young friends to read.
