Early Buzz from Philadelphia Weekly !

 May: Malina Saval originally conceived The Secret Lives of Boys as a cover story for LA Weekly, and expanded it to 304 pages after crisscrossing the country interviewing teenagers from all kinds of backgrounds, like a Young Adult industry Studs Terkel. Saval’s website is trying really hard to be cool, so when you click on Excerpts, you get three options: “If you are an indie fuck, read this,” “If you are a mini adult, read this” and “if you are a rich kid, read this.” But the book itself seems quite compelling, especially if you’re interested in young boys. (Not like that! Perv.)
