Adrian and Jedd are a couple of drugged-out, gay, party-boy
badasses looking for a good time on a Saturday night. When they blow one party
and head across town to hookup with drugs at another party, they have a toxic
confrontation with a homophobic weirdo. At that point, their lives begin
spiraling down hill, and the farther they fall, the faster they plunge with
seemingly no place to land.
This story is a fast-paced, sexy, gritty, wild ride. It has
a great hook and escalating conflict throughout that has your head spinning by
the end. Tense, funny, sad, with excitement on every page. It is a frolicking
rite of passage for two dopers out to find true love.
There are several voices telling this story, all using
first-person narrative, which often is confusing and hard to know who is
speaking. What makes it more difficult is that all the voices sound the same.
Yet, that doesn’t detract too much from the ride. I’m not sure the story would
have had nearly the same punch told differently.
Here is a little excerpt:
I snap back
into reality when he is about to come, which I know because he starts fucking
my face.
This is one of
the reasons I love him.
The other
reason is that he always has weed.
The other
reason is that we’ve been together for a year and 8 months, and he is fine with
the fact that he doesn’t know me at all.
The truth is I
don’t really even know myself.
But
who the fuck does?
This is an entertaining story that has moments of
philosophical insight, and I can recommend it for those who wish to walk on the
wild side.
