Two years younger than his classmates at a prestigious boarding school, fourteen-year-old Ryan Dean West grapples with living in the dorm for troublemakers, falling for his female best friend who thinks of him as just a kid, and playing wing on the Varsity rugby team with some of his frightening new dorm-mates.
I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author. I enjoy reading teen fiction contemporary novels and this one was up there for me. I tend to also compare most contemporary YA novels to those written by John Green... And I would say this novel is a bit more cartoonish, but it is also smart, poignant, and addicting.
