Living in an apartment above the bike shop owned by his embittered father, Tomas Zimmermann keeps company with Grey and Callie, his best friends since childhood. At summer’s end, Tom leaves for Madison where he falls in with an unusual and ultimately destructive crowd. As the book approaches a climax, Grey and Callie reappear with trouble of their own, and Tom is forced to choose between old loyalties and a new sense of belonging.`
Only made it through about a fourth of the book before I decided to return it to the library. I love reading historical small town coming-of-age types of books but decided not to read further after encountering some smut about a fourth of the way through the book. Why do authors feel they need sex scenes and lots of dirty language to sell a book? Not my type. Too bad-it started off on just a promising start.
