Tim Tharp
"Some people would let a senior year like this get them down. Not me. I'm Sutter Keely, master of the party. I'm your man when it comes to cranking the wild times. But don't mistake a midnight philosopher like me for nothing more than a shallow party boy.
"Just ask Aimee, the new girl in my life. She saw the depth of the Sutterman from that first moment when she found me passed out on the front lawn. Okay, so she's a social disaster; but that's where I come in. Isn't it my duty to show her a splendiferous time, and then let her go forth and prosper?
Y"es, life is weird, but I embrace the weird. Let everyone else go marching off into their great shining futures if they want. Me, I've always been more than content to tip my whiskey bottle and take a ride straight into the heart of the spectacular now."

Spectacular!

In the end, Sutter does not change. The message is that some people will never get it. Not sure that is what Tim Tharp intended, but the effect of this story is tragic on the minds of young readers.
A big let down at the end.
Story not the most uplifting

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book.It's so true to teen romances because girls would often fall for these guys that don't know how good they have it and they throw it all away to protect girls or hurt them because there selfish life pursuit.Who was your favorite character and why?
Sitter in a way reflected me in away. Dating the quiet nerdy girl but longing to figure why his past is better without him.Which scene was your favorite?
The part where Sutter is telling Aimee to swear to relieve stress and the weight of the world.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
In was like hearing my own life.True teen romances
