Maneuvering the hazards of high school, abusive parents, a banished sister, and diminishing mental health proves exhausting for sixteen-year-old James. Though his circumstances are nothing to laugh at, James's wry sense of humor is one of his most charming coping mechanisms, and Roskos's strength lies in his relentless honesty about surviving with depression and anxiety.
