Katie's Book Club - November Selection - Now is Not the Time to Panic by Kevin Wilson

Read below for a blurb about the book and what some authors have said about the book!

An exuberant, bighearted novel about two teenage misfits who spectacularly collide one fateful summer, and the art they make that changes their lives forever

“This is a wildly funny, wonderfully sincere — and a little bit devastating — story of art, our limitless past, future nostalgia and all those perfectly imperfect ways we continually come of age. So full of heart and utterly indelible.” — Courtney Summers, Washington Post

“This is a story that is a precise capture of adolescence and of two vibrant teens whose everyday dilemmas, weaknesses, and triumphs are utterly endearing . . . Crisp dialog and [a] zipping story line.” — Booklist (starred review)

“Full of compassion and gentle humor, this is a wise and winning novel about how youth haunts and defines us.” — Esquire

"It’s the kind of book your cool English literature teacher would recommend when you showed an interest in writing, the type of coming-of-age story that would have been equally destined for a banned books list and a summer reading list." — Vulture

“This books has the feel of a long-gestating work: a novel about creativity and childhood that seems as though its author has been mulling it since his own youth. Cleverly cute without tipping over into saccharine territory….Though the book has an earnest heart, it’s colored with appealingly offbeat prose, so that even the most straightforward coming-of-age moments have a funky freshness.” — Vogue

“[his] deceptively transparent prose, with a touch of humor, a dash of satire and a good bit of insight, carries the reader to a humane and satisfying conclusion.” — BookPage (starred review)
