What a hidden gem! It is not listed with other Bad Pharmacy's works but ofc it is one of this author's works. As always, a great story.
I love how we see at first the pov from who we think is the most 'logical, rational' person, the class prez, and we are supposed to think the ''delinquent' is the one with the most problems. Yet as you get to know more about them, we notice that, while both have problems, there is someone in danger here and he himself is not aware of that. Until he does. That no matter how much he thinks he acts "like an adult' he is not. He can't say he chose to do that, he can't. He is a victim.
On the other hand, the 'delinquent' realizes that maybe he should start acting more mature. He should make himself clear. He may not be an adult, but he is not a kid whose life is decided by adults. He has things he wants to do
It is one of the few stories where spending time apart was necessary for them to grow as characters. Now, they find each other as people who conquered their fears and problems. Now they get to enjoy the fruits of their hard work. As the story says, the festival is just starting.
