Disclosure: I won this book on goodreads.

This was the first book I have ever read by Abigail Tarrttelin. It was a very easy YA read. Very easy to get into and was a quick read for me.

I had a bit of a hard time connecting with the setting. But all in all I did enjoy the book.

Will AKA Flick is a 15 year old boy stuck in small town life. Living weeks through getting stoned and school and weekends drinking and doing drugs in the 'fast lane' with his friends. He has lots of ambition but like most 15 year old's he tends to be a little short fallen when it comes to what to do with those ambitions.

He has numerous flash backs during the story telling of the book, remembering details of how he did certain things, how he learned certain things, what his friends were doing etc.

Rainbow, she was quite interesting. Her name was neat. I thought it was cute how they met, while he was making fun of her name but instead of her being upset and taking it out of him, she totally turned the situation around to make it funny on him.

Again interesting read.
