SUTTER KEELY. HE’S the guy you want at your party. He’ll get everyone dancing. He’ ll get everyone in your parents’ pool. Okay, so he’s not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men’s shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram’s V.O., life’s pretty fabuloso, actually.

Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee’s clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it’s up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go
forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever.… (altro)

Overall I wouldn’t classify it as a must read. It took me a while to get into and the main character is charming but ultimately problematic. However, the heart of the story will touch you and give you a nostalgic feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Read the rest of this review at Notes in the Margin. ( )

I really enjoyed this book! Still think about it years later. ( )

I haven't yet seen the movie (wanted to) and this was available through my library's ebook lending system so I thought I'd give it a try. The main character (18 years old) can drink George and Martha (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) under the table. It almost made me sick how much this kid drinks. Just the same, he's likable for most of the book. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say I was hoping for a bit of a different ending...quick, enjoyable read though. ( )

Wow, so really that's the end? The book is well written and the characters are interesting, but the ending is far too anti-climatic. I like Sutter, I genuinely do, that's why I feel Tharp does him a huge disservice by glamorizing his alcoholism. "God's own drunk" really disgusted me at several points throughout the story. The characters' reactions to the car crash felt far too nonchalant to be believable. This coming-of-age yarn has great potential, but falls short of spectacular or even "spanktakular." ( )

I honestly don't know what I think of this book. It's been a couple of days and I still don't know. I liked it and yet I really didn't at the same time. ( )
