Pages : 218
Book Description
Zac Taylor and his crew are at the end of their last summer together before senior year of high school. Unsure of where each is headed after graduation, they know three things: time is fleeting, the pool where they all work as lifeguards is swimming with hotties, and life really is greener on the other side of the hill when the person sitting next to you has a tightly-rolled joint. In some ways, life couldn't be any more picturesque for this band of Midwestern misfits. But nothing is ever as it seems. Zac's stepdad is a tyrant with soul-crushing plans for Zac's life. And when a surprise visitor steps in on Zac's behalf, tragedy befalls the family, sending Zac into a self-destructive downward spiral. Can the love of his life, a snarky, Beatles superfan, a brick of weed, a bar owner named Arlo, and an unexpected inheritance get Zac back on track to fulfill his destiny or is this just the beginning of Zac's endless descent into the hazy hippie world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll?
