Sutter Keely is the life of every party and a high school senior, who has absolutely no plans regarding the future. He prefferes to live his life in the now. Even though everyone around him is either moving on or trying to grow up, Sutter isn’t intimidated or attempting to follow their actions. He finds it wise to do the exact opposite. That decision often leads him into some kind of trouble, like accidentally lighting an expensive suit on fire or ending up drunk in a stranger’s backyard. Sutter is a bit of an alcoholic as well, which may also lead to unexpected events like that. His mother and step–father are very concerned about his future and are close to sending him to boarding school, but so far Sutter has talked his way out of any situation. He works at a local men’s clothing store and is close with his manager, who often gives him life advice.
I like this book because of it’s little unexpected plot–twists and unusual characters.
So far I haven’t found anything negative about the book.
