“A profound meditation on identity, class, privilege and masculinity.”—Lucy Popescu, The Observer

“Pandya reveals not just the secret heart of adolescence but also the fragile veneer of an adult world striving—and often failing—to guide it.”—UCSB, The Current

“Our Beautiful Boys is a gift arriving in bookstores, coming in like a lion, as approachable as a lamb.

“In Pandya’s riveting latest, a Southern California high school is roiled when three football players are accused of assaulting a classmate . . . As tensions ignite between the families along class and racial lines, the boys’ pact breaks down and the plot ramps up . . . This is a stunner.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

 

“Our Beautiful Boys is a moving, suspenseful portrayal of young men pushing past the bounds of ‘all the people that had come before him’ on the complicated playing field of American identity.”—Booklist, starred review
 

“Investigating masculinity, ethnicity, education, privilege and social standing, Pandya has delivered an incisive and thoughtful novel that not only speaks to our contemporary culture.”—BookPage
