Run Away with Me, by Brian Selznick (2025)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: Two teenage boys fall in mysterious and magical first love in 1986 Rome.
Review: This was very sweet but ultimately I think it felt a bit too scattered. At first I thought there was some fantasy element to the pairing, but that turned out to be a misdirect. And there was a compelling secondary plot involving a mysterious book that deserved more attention. But overall this was fun.
