Forty Wild Crushes won a 2016 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention! Here are two mini-reviews from the anonymous judges:
"It is so easy to read, sympathize with, laugh with and at times
laugh at, yet still admire the author-narrator of these 16 very varied
stories that I wasn't aware until I was done with the book how
beautifully linked they are and what a many-faceted jewel it is. Has any
one made a funeral more human or funny? Has any one ever had a
cult-movie crush like this?"
"I love this book. He writes
beautifully. Draws characters beautifully. Has a strong mastery of
narrative. I want to read more of him."
