You will like this book if:
  • You like to LOL as you read.
  • You think gross boy humor is funny.
  • You have ever embarassed yourself because of a crush.
  • Your friends are really fun and really embarassing at the same time.
  • You like to read books that could actually happen.
You will not like this book if:
  • You are offended easily by sexual references or jokes about girls.
  • You like to read fantasy or science fiction books.
  • You prefer books that make you think or help you learn something.
Fun Fact #1: Mrs. McCarthy read this book after I gave it to her on our vacation this summer.  She read it in just 2 days, had her first lol on page 11, and loved the book.  Ask her about it!

Fun Fact #2: If you like this book there is a sequel called Beat the Band.  I haven't read it yet, but I am really excited to check it out!  I hope it is as funny as the first one.

Matt and his two best friends set an annual summertime goal, and this year's might end up being their first fail.  They want to see a live naked woman.  Between trying to impress a girl, dealing with his desperate-to-date grandfather, being an all-star swimmer (when he actually sucks), and trying to see some skin, Matt's summer adventures are ridiculous, raunchy, and hilarious.  As you can imagine, there is mature content in this book.  Don't say I didn't warn you...
