Review

It's touted as "a standout voice, a hilariously honest send-up of sex, sexuality, and enough F-bombs to make your mom blush." It doesn't mention the pages of drug and alcohol mind blitzes. Girl and boy sex , leads to Mike being homosexual (because he's not sure what to do with her boobs). Too many pages of Mike "not remembering", and not really liking his friends. The girl he is having sex with told him they are not really boyfriend and girlfriend, and she wants to date others. Then it's Halloween and Mike wears a cheerleaders costume. He discovers he likes having sex with boys. There really didn't seem to be any character development. Mike just keeps waking up hours later trying to remember what had happened. Then he does more drugs. Mike seems to be confused by his drinking and drugging, clueless to friendships, hungry, and willing to have sex without discrimination.

Overall Book Score: poor
