Title: The Edumacation of Jay Baker 
Author: Jay Clark
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. 
Release Date: January 31, 2012
Read from May 20-21, 2012
My rating: 

A few "sexy" bullet points about Jay: 
- He is in love with a cheerleader named Cameo "Appearance" Parnell 
- He is forever losing "Love-15" to tennis-playing goddess Caroline Richardson 
- He rocks a touche array of pop-culture references, jokes, and puns 
- His family-life cookie is about to crumble. 

Live vicariously through Jay as he faces off against his mortal enemy, gets awkward around his dream girl(s), loses his marbles in a Bermudian love triangle, watches his parents' relationship implode, and, finally, learns to get real and be himself(ish).

My Thoughts:

   If you’re looking for a fun, quirky, quick read, narrated by a sarcastic teenage boy, then this book is for you.

   Jay Baker, is just an ordinary 15-year old freshman, with a very sarcastic and smart humor that will make you laugh, cry, and all things in the middle. The story is actually simple, but the way he narrates and reacts to the situation is hilarious and interesting. His parents are divorcing, he’s confused with his love life. It’s actually understandable, he is young and still lacks the maturity older people have because of the many experiences they have in life. He is in the crossroad in his life, and reading about it is not only entertaining but it also brought light and some wisdom to me. I just love the book!
