"A gay high school senior struggles to cope with his father's irresponsibility in Malloy's poignant, quietly effective debut . . . The author displays a razor-sharp comic touch in the verbal sparring between father and son as Pat tries to bring his instant family together, and he balances the comedy with some touching scenes after Pat messes up his latest domestic venture. Malloy shows plenty of talent in his gay spin on the genre, and this debut bodes well for his literary future."—Publishers Weekly
