Fans of T.H.U.G. & Dear Martin have been gravitating to Tyler Johnson Was Here like mosquitoes to bare legs. Twins Tyler and Marvin couldn't be more different. Marvin is straight laced with dreams of MIT and being a modern Dwayne Wayne from #adifferentworld. For Tyler, life hasn't been so cut and dry, especially with their father in prison and their mother working longer hours. But, when they both go to a party and only Marvin returns home, the search for Tyler causes Marvin to really question how well he knew his twin.

While I loved the characters, I wasn't instantly hooked. I think the voice (having a black male protagonist interested in education and video games) is unique and important, I was left wanting more from the plot.
