Review "And so this is a story powered by yearning. Though the book describes itself as a genderqueer tale, it shares with yaoi (boy love manga) a searing energy of unrequited love, a passion that unfulfilled is more gripping to readers than the actual coupling of characters could ever be." - Lambda Literary "Mereys soulful story shows just how tenuous our understanding of identity, friendship, and romance can be. Although the work appears sketchy at first glance, every line is clear and every word is clarifying. These are authentic teens with attitudes, sound tracks, and sexual curiosity." --Booklist, starred review This Stonewall Honor Book, drawn with deceptively sketchy art, tells the soulful story of the intense relationship between a shy, bisexual pretty boy and a lesbian with the appetite of a trucker. --Ian Chipman, for Booklists Top 10 Graphic Novels for Youth: 2012 "Lets get right to it: this graphic novel is about two a) artistic, b) music-loving, c) Jewish, and d) genderqueer friends who consider becoming something more. From that line alone, I think its safe to say that we all desperately need this book." - John Hansen for The Guardian Prizes Commended for Stonewall Book Award (Children/Young Adult) 2012 Details ISBN1590213904 Author Ilike Merey Short Title A+E 4EVER Pages 214 Publisher Lethe Press Language English ISBN-10 1590213904 ISBN-13 9781590213902 Media Book DEWEY FIC Year 2011 Imprint Lethe Press Country of Publication United States Format Paperback Publication Date 2011-09-25 Illustrations 214 Illustrations Illustrator Ilike Merey Subtitle A Graphic Novel UK Release Date 2011-09-25 Audience Age 15-17 Audience Teenage / Young adult We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
