“Nobody invited me.” That’s Theo’s excuse for not joining in the post-practice outing, and the same words went through my mind so often (and through my lips occasionally) when I was young that they are an indelible part of my psyche. Jade, you’ve said that’s relatable for you, too. I wonder if that’s a commonality for a lot of GRK’s audience. I think he said once his overall “genre” is that he writes friendship stories, and that really rang true when I thought about it. So many of his characters struggle to connect while yearning for connection. And most of his stories model friendship-building within real-world relationship dynamics. 

P.S. Jade: Keep it up and you’ll become NOTORIOUS for your wordplay.
