AMAZON REVIEWS

"I commend Nico Medina for having written a nailbiter about what one boy will do to achieve his goal, and the regrets he piles up after himself like dirty laundry.... Jonathan is a great addition to the gallery of great American teens mouthing off, a Holden Caulfield for our time and place."
—Kevin Killian

"Once you pick this up, you will just have to finish it. I was very pleasantly suprised to see what an awesome job he did in representing the Central Florida area so vividly."
—"Jon H"

THE STRAIGHT ROAD TO KYLIE

A 2008 YALSA Popular Paperback for Young Adults

A 2008 New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age

A 2008 Lambda Literary Award Nominee

"Best friends, booze, bodaciousness and bitch-slaps are the name of the game in this hilarious, full-on twist on the mistaken-identities conundrum. . . . Averaging at least a half-dozen yuks per page, Medina's first offering packs slick, Gossip-Girl-Goes-to-Orlando language stylings with realistic yet over-the-top situations that should have teen readers—gay or straight—doing the locomotion for more."

FAN REVIEWS

"Your book is awesome, but not regular awesome—it's like Steve-O then go to a rave and then take a body shot from a super hot girl whose jealous boyfriend is staring you down awesome!" 
—Anthony, 17
 
"I just wanted to let you know that by likening the effect of alcohol to being dropkicked by a ninja on crack, you have just entered the realm of herodom for me. Yes. Herodom. Good job."
—Flinn, 20

"It kept me so entertained and absolutely on the edge of my seat. I was even fretting in the middle of the book for Jon (don't tell anyone I told you, but I cheated and read the last chapter to ease my distressed
soul -] )."
—Dana, 14
