Shakespeare Shapiro is a high school senior trying to sum up his crazy life in a memoir. All the graduating seniors are writing memoirs and a panel of finalists will be chosen to compete for publication! He's your normal teen worried about his perceived coolness, getting a girlfriend, and getting into college. His writing is hip and edgy and he has many fans among his classmates because they can always count on his writing to be over the top in terms of sexual content and raw humor at his and his family's expense.His best friends drink too much, swear too much, and among their favorite conversation topics is bowel movements. Charlotte is different though. She's usually late, if she makes it to school at all, and she's hesitant to even share the first sentence of her memoir with Shakespeare.
A hilariously funny novel with heart. Teens will bust a gut as they journey through Shakespeare's senior year in high school and won't be able to put this page-turner down until they see him through Prom and graduation.
