About This Book

A melancholic memoir of saying goodbye to the familiar

Brimming with empathy and a charming, self-aware wit, Perfect Example is King-Cat zinester John Porcellino's coming-of-age memoir about the momentous and eternal year between the end of high school and the start of college. It's a year of awkward house parties, first kisses, spontaneous, open-ended road trips, and struggles with depression. Framed within the context of empathetic recollection, Perfect Example offers up a new way for us to read our own pasts and be kinder to our younger selves.
