Publisher's Weekly, starred review

Author Jake Wizner... has done an absolutely stunning job depicting the life of a teenage chronic masturbator obsessed with little more than finding a girl to mate with and wallowing in his own self pity...Wizner has created an unbelievable, disturbingly honest teenager who you can gawk at, be shocked by, and at the same time, completely relate to. -Andrew Fersch, VAIL DAILY

"Take a teenager, Shakespeare Shapiro, who hates his name; two unusual friends; several love interests; a younger brother who knows more about females than he does; and an assignment to write his senior memoir...and what do you get? Tear-inducing laughter and one of the best reads of the season. If you're not laughing by the end of the first page, check your pulse." --David Richardson, The Blue Marble Children's Bookstore, Fort Thomas, KY
