Aimed at older teenagers and adults, this book tells the story of Michael Sweet, a young man who has had his fair share of bad luck. But now he is finished with school, into university and able to move out of his father's house - something he his very pleased about. Through Michael's own account we learn about his past and how he is coping with his new life, and dealing with the inevitable issues from his past. His voice is a very realistic and sometimes confused one. We travel with him as he deals with the confusing world of girls, alcohol, and reluctantly finding out his father may have some redeeming features.
