pickRun 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.
pickA coming-of-age story about first love, family, and finding yourself.
Jeremy‘s figuring things out—his sexuality, his relationship with his newly-divorced dad, and whether Evan, the boy he meets on the Oregon Coast, might like him back. As they bond over birdwatching, they create a secret code—part game, part shield. Quietly powerful, this YA story hits hard and feels real.
pickA new Brian Selznick book always feels like a special event - and this is one of his best. Angelo and Danny are young and falling in love against the backdrop of Rome.
