<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the last months of high school, charismatic eighteen-year-old Sutter Keely lives in the present, staying drunk or high most of the time, but that could change when he starts working to boost the self-confidence of a classmate, Aimee.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This National Book Award Finalist is now a major motion picture -- one of the most buzzed-about films at Sundance 2013, starring Shailene Woodley (star of <i>The Fault in our Stars </i>and<i> Divergent</i>) and Miles Teller (star of <i>Whiplash</i>). <p/>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. <p/> 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<br> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, November 17, 2008: <br></b>"[A] smart, superbly written novel." <p/><b>Starred Review, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, February 2009: <br></b>"A sobering look at the rationalizations of a teenage alcoholic."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tim Tharp lives in Oklahoma<i>, </i>where he teaches at Rose State College.
