This book was really interesting. I was surprised because it's written like poetry and there is no really focuse of a story. It's kinda like side stories put together to create a big story. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689867107, Paperback)

I'm a normal guy.
An average sixteen-year-old.
I think about sex, sport, & nose hair.

Sex mostly.

Jack's got a lot on his mind: He's trying to figure out the mystery of the opposite sex, he can't stop wondering about facial hair, and he won't let go of his mother's ghost, even though she died seven years ago. Jack knows he can't hang on to the past forever, but what he doesn't know is how to let go.

Then he meets Annabel. She's beautiful, smart, and she gets him. Suddenly love makes sense, and the future seems hopeful. And for the first time, Jack feels ready to leave the past where it belongs.
