A book for teens/young adults. I've read "Songbook", "About a Boy", "High Fidelity", "A Long Way Down" and "How to be Good", and enjoyed all of them. I'm not sure if I will enjoy this one. It is written from the viewpoint of a 16-year old boy who lives with his single mom. Here's one review: ...“ 'Slam' slides by on its author’s enormous charm...and its exploration of some hard-won truths, including this encompassing definition of what adult love really is: a project “full of worry and work and forgiving people and putting up with things and stuff like that.” ' - New York Times Book Review.

Time to pass this book along.
