As someone with an adolescence full of house music, nitrous balloons and several bad k-hole experiences who is now a mother to a preteen... this is a really amazingly true feeling story for anyone to write but especially so for a man. Not that boys weren't at parties and that fathers don't love their children but that early mother and infant bond is extremely difficult to convey without getting saccharine. The empathy shown here for a damaged young woman is beautiful.
