About this ebook

Meet Will Carter, but feel free to call him Carter. (Yes, he knows it's a lazy nickname, but he didn't have much say in the matter.)

Here are five things you should know about him:

1. He has a stuttering problem, particularly around boobs and belly buttons.

2. He battles Attention Deficit Disorder every minute of every day unless he gets distracted.

3. He's a virgin, mostly because he's no good at talking to girls (see number 1).

4. He's about to start high school.

5. He's totally not ready.

Join Carter for his freshman year, where he'll search for sex, love, and acceptance anywhere he can find it. In the process, he'll almost kill a trombone player, face off with his greatest nemesis, suffer a lot of blood loss, narrowly escape death, run from the cops (not once, but twice), get caught up in a messy love triangle, meet his match in the form of a curvy drill teamer, and surprise the hell out of everyone, including himself.

Ratings and reviews

Will Carter, a freshman year who goes from a dull person to a very impressive teenager in his quest to look cool in front of girls. The author did so well, with the innocence & ignorance of a 14-year old being reflected from his character. How looks are deceptive sometimes, as he chooses (or rather doesn't) to date a girl whose not that hot but chubby (Chubby Abby in this case). I think no one could have done more justice to his character, as you might feel, the freshman has written the book himself, ofcourse without any errors in it. Seems cool to read, & shows off a great deal of pressure teenagers have to face. A MUST READ, if you're into laughing a lot & especially if you're a teenage guy/girl.

Carter is just like me. We both screw everything up and our parents raised a total dumbass. I can't wait to HOPEFULLY (all caps) read the third book.

I love how this book captures the young life. I can definitely relate to this as far as being a big dope and not knowing how girls work. But also the character development in this book is beyond me and I recommend everyone read it!
