Shayne goes to the police station to confess to a murder. He sits with the officer and tells about the bully drug dealer, his wimpy but sarcastic friend, and the girl. Shayne sees the story one way, the cop sees it another way, and Mikey (the sarcastic friend) sees it his way.
Told in alternating chapters from the different characters point of view this is a rough, gritty, heartfelt story about real life. These characters are in every high school, and we all know or know of these guys. The book is a fast and short read, full of interesting characters, none of them stock teen characters. There are a lot of drug references, and some domestic violence. The topics covered are tough, but the language used is accessible to every reader. I recommend this to guys and girls who like realistic fiction.
