The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp

The Spectacular Now

by Tim Tharp

A US National Book Award Finalist and now a major motion picture
-- one of the most buzzed-about films at Sundance 2013, starring
Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller.

Sutter Keeley'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.

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.

But I've never loved anyone as much as I love her right now. That's how I know I'll have to give her up.


— I'm broken. Don't talk to me.
