I don't know - there's something about this one that really works.
The story is fast paced, the book is short and sweet. I peaked at it thinking I'd just read a page or 2 and see what it was about. BOOM! Hour later and I'm done. It's such an interesting way to tell the story - with about 8 POV and...all of them are seeing and experiencing nearly the same situations but they all have their own spin on it.

It's the story of one crazy night and each moment is give by a different person. A little backstory thrown in just to make sure you know what's what and it's off and running.
In the beginning, I was extremely skeptical. Jimmy and Byron did not grab my interest, and I had a hard time figuring out what was going on and I didn't like it.

But at some point, it all just clicked and I couldn't stop reading. It's incredibly fast-paced and at times very confusing and disorienting, but if you just kind of let yourself get swept away in the tsunami of mishaps, it's actually a lot of fun.

I can't believe all the things that happen over the course of one night in this book. It's just amazing. I applaud Peter Lerangis's management of the whole thing. It really does make you think...wtf?

Told from alternating perspectives, WTF is the story of one night gone horribly wrong. Each of the five characters has a story to tell – why they are at the party or the club or in the car crash that kicks off the book. At first, no one’s story seems to line up with the others’ – how are a drug dealer, a waitress cramming for the SATs and a speech team nerd connected? From the Mafia to a party in Westchester, all the hihg-and-lowlights of the New York party life are present and accounted for in this fast-paced romp of a novel. If you’re looking for something edgy and original, WTF is a great pick.

Very cool story. Reminds me of the movie "Go" as in it takes a few different stories and merges them all into one at the end. Quick, fun read.
Do you like crazy,funny, and non-stop action books? If you do then youre going to love WTF by Peter Lerangis. WTF is told from the point of view of Reina, Jimmy, Byron, Waits, and a little by Cam that get into some crazy situation all in one night.
