This is my very first book by T J Klune and I'm totally aghast of not catching onto it sooner. He's got some mad skills! He's witty, direct, a bit self-indulgent at times but that's when you know you're up for a good ride. 
 The title of the book is a bit strange and sounded silly but delving on it, you'll find that it's neither strange nor silly. The book was told through Derrick McKenna's (Bear) perspective starting on how her mother abandoned him when he was about to turn 18 and was left to be the sole care taker of his six year old brother Tyson (Kid). As the story progresses, we meet the people supporting Bear on what seemed to be a dire situation for a barely legal teen to carry. This support group includes Creed (Bear's best friend), Anna (Bear's on and off again girlfriend), Mrs.Paquin (Bear's 70 year old sitter) and Oliver aka Otter (Creed's big bro). Unexpectedly, Bear initially finds himself leaning more towards Otter for emotional support which eventually led to Otter running away to California leaving Bear devastated beyond measure. Three years later, Otter is back and will do everything to make it up to Bear. This reunion proves to be more than just making up for Otter's abandonment. Bear also needs to face the truth about himself, fight for the kid and the man he couldn't live without. 
 I really do like the first person approach of the narration here and I really enjoyed the book except for the final few pages because it was just so sad. I also find it a bit anticlimactic and the confrontation's a bit subdued for my taste. 
 (Oh, I'm also guessing that Jonah has something to do with Bear's mother sudden appearance) 
 The book is truly a beautiful journey with these nice people who are all awe-inspiring and pretty realistic in every sense!
