misskittye, despite the scary pairing, is so very, very good. It's a first-time story that knows what it means to be a first-time story: awkward, fumbling, unsure, excited mostly by the strangeness and newness of it all. The boys are teenage boys through and through, and everything about their interactions with each other -- especially the dialogue -- feels authentic.
There's also an interesting sub-theme running through the story regarding Rupert's new house and what it means for his family's change in socioeconomic status. It's a touch of reality, on top of the fantastically done Rupert POV, that makes the story seem very intimate and true to life.
