[New post] Book Review: Colton’s Terrible Wonderful Year

The experiences we have in our teenage years leave a definitive mark on the rest of our lives. Changing bodies, social contexts, and novel situations (plus many other factors specific to each person) makes those few years difficult, yet memorable.
Author Vincent Traughber Meis somehow manages to synthesize the joys, frustrations, passions, uncertainty, and helpless awkwardness that comes with that stage in our lives with a sympathetic frankness that most readers will be able to relate to.
The day Colton's life begins to change is the day his parents pick him up from the police station. See, Colton is a half-Black teenager living in San Francisco, which had never really been an issue until now. He and his two best friends, Fer (a light-skinned Mexican kid) and Josh (a white, blonde-haired kid) got picked up at Target after shoplifting, a ploy led by Josh but which Colton ultimately took the blame for.
Following a sit-down conversation with his two dads, August (called Dad) and Ruben (called Papi), that was subverted by talk of maybe finally being able to meet his mother, Joy, whom he'd never met, Colton is surprised to find Dad suggesting a family vacation to Thailand.
