The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp
3.0

The last 2 pages. Are you kidding me.

I liked Sutter. I was hesitant at first that this book was going to be over the top adult author taking pains to sound like a cool kid. But Tharp pulls it off I think, for the most part. I could believe it.

The characters seemed familiar to me not in a "teens are always written this way" but more as people I actually knew in high school. I appreciated that and it kept me reading. It made me believe the book was written for adults.

SPOILER ALERT: I knew that a book about kids drinking and having sex could not end happily. But huh? I am so confused.
