Robbie Couch writes with real honesty and compassion about love, family, and friendship in all their beautiful complexity." * Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda * "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!" * Tyler Oakley, author of the New York Times bestseller Binge * "The Sky Blues is the first book Ive read that so fully encapsulates the dynamics of growing up queer during adolescence, without falling into the usual dramatic tropes - its a perfect snapshot. This story is so pure and filled with hope that I never wanted it to end." * Kevin McHale, actor ("Glee") * "This story is filled with shadows and light, struggles and wins, and with characters we can all relate to." * Sarah Butland, Imagination Captured * "Youll root for Sky... and have the joy of watching him overcome setbacks and find his own strength.
