"The author creates memorable, believable characters who inhabit vivid settings. Couch excels at crafting believable plot twists... Recommended for fans of David Levithan.""Earnest, heartfelt, and sincerely moving. Robbie Couch writes with real honesty and compassion about love, family, and friendship in all their beautiful complexity.""Packed with twists, turns, and a whole lotta love, The Sky Blues tugged at my gay-from-the-Midwest heartstrings. Ready for more from Robbie!""The Sky Blues is the first book I’ve read that so fully encapsulates the dynamics of growing up queer during adolescence, without falling into the usual dramatic tropes - it’s a perfect snapshot. This story is so pure and filled with hope that I never wanted it to end.""This story is filled with shadows and light, struggles and wins, and with characters we can all relate to.""You’ll root for Sky... and have the joy of watching him overcome setbacks and find his own strength. This is a highly recommended book, especially to fans of Albertalli’s Simon books who want the same kind of feel.""An optimistic... coming-of-age narrative.""Debut author Couch structures the book as a promposal countdown, building suspense and showing how Sky... realizes he’s braver than he thinks, and claps back to the bullies, improving school culture and finding his community along the way."
