The Spectacular Now
by Tim Tharp
Sutter Keely is considered to be a "shallow party boy" by more than a few people, including a few ex-girlfriends. His favorite activities include parties, and getting high/drunk with his best friend Ricky and philosophizing with him. But Sutter is a nice guy, and also likes to help people out, like setting up Ricky with his first ever girlfriend, even though that causes his own girlfriend to break up with him.
After passing out one night and waking up in an unknown front yard, Sutter meets Aimee. Despite being awkward and uninvolved in the party scene, Sutter is interested in helping Aimee become more assertive and take control of her life. Unexpectedly, they become a couple, and Aimee wants to help Sutter as much a he wants to help her. And she starts planning out their future together, although Sutter has purposefully avoided thinking beyond graduation.
At Aimee's urging, Sutter sets out on a quest to get answers to his own identity, but he finds out more than he bargained for. A narrowly avoided tragedy makes him question whether he can escape the "screwed-up Keely male gene" or not. Despite his reliance on alcohol, Sutter definitely goes beyond a shallow party boy and is a likable character who is honest and kind.
Frequent mention of drunk driving, drinking, drug use, and sexual activity would limit this book to an older audience.
