Have you seen Project X? No, this book doesn't have a lot of in common with a movie Project X.
Except maybe an average age of the MCs.
Except maybe how I feel reading it!




This book cracked me up. I WAS ENTERTAINED!
[a:Marc Acito|71070|Marc Acito|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1291923757p2/71070.jpg] made me laugh and his book left a smile on my face after I finished it.
It was a totally right choice. A perfect choice!

More later!

Eh, all I can say is that with a subtitle like "A novel of sex, theft, friendship and musical theatre", I was expecting a tsunami of a good time. It was more of a puddle. Perfectly acceptable but our journey together ends here.

I definitely wasn't expecting deep literature with this one, but I was still disappointed. I thought it would be a cute, funny coming-of-age story about a bunch of awkward drama geeks. I guess it comes through on some of that, but unfortunately it's not really funny at all and every one of the characters is completely insufferable. Between the constant "OMG, Barbara Streisand is JUST like me!" and "No one understands my art because I'm just too good for them" snobbiness of the protagonist (and I'm paraphrasing here, but he makes equally eye-roll-inducing statements about once per page) and the ridiculous affectations of everyone else, there was just way too much annoying to go around. I could maybe, MAYBE have dealt with the beyond obnoxious narrative voice if that was the only major drawback, but it just was't.

The plot is just completely stupid and contrived. "Silly" doesn't even begin to describe it. The vast majority of the theatre/pop culture references felt really forced and grated after a while (once again, the main character's constant name-dropping). Also, I know theatre people are huge sluts and all, and teenageers experiment and whatever, but all these kids having tons of sex in every configuration and swapping partners just rang so false to me. I mean, staging an orgy to take blackmail photos? Scenes like that mixed with all the characters' sheltered ignorance and naivete was just absurd to me.

Not impressed.

What a romp! This is a camped-up version of The Catcher in the Rye in my opinion, but where I didn't like Catcher, I liked this. Perhaps it was because of the camp, or that something actually happened in the story.

I definitely liked the fluidity of the sexuality of the characters. Most coming-out stories are hard for me to connect to because the characters are so definitely homosexual.These characters couldn't easily define themselves on a scale like Kinsey's. There were more dimensions, as there are in real life, than a linear scale. The blurred lines between their attractions is like my own experiences.
