Aside from the amazingness that was Aven, I also loved the friendship that developed between Connor and Zion. Zion was often harassed, because he was overweight, but Aven recognized him for his imagination and kindness. Connor was not only bullied for his Tourette's, but also accused of faking it for attention. He became Aven's best friend, and her friendship was something that helped him gain back some of his self esteem. I thought it was wonderful the way Bowling educated us about TS too. At one point, Aven and Connor go to a TS support group meeting. There, they discuss the many different way TS can affect someone. Like every other issue touched upon in the book, it's done with humor, but also great care and sensitivity.
I was utterly charmed by this book, and I am positive my heart exploded.
