Why read it?

1 author picked Tonight We Rule the World as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I will never pass up an opportunity to discuss one of Zack Smedley’s books. This one is one of the most beautiful, truthful, and book-hangover-inducing stories I have ever enjoyed reading.

Its narrator, a boy struggling to tell and come to terms with a difficult truth, will live in my heart and mind forever. I advise people to check for content warnings, as Smedley’s work never fails to leave me an emotional wreck.

From Kelly's list on quiet, mousy, teenaged me feel seen.
