LitPick Review
Jayke is not your average 17 year old. He has some strange abilities. The only thing he can't seem to do is talk to girls. The minute he tries even making normal conversation, his hands get clammy and he starts to sweat and he can't seem to utter a single word.When he finds out he's been in a coma for the last 7 years, he wants to find out about his life before the coma. Unfortunately, he can't remember a thing. However, something finally registers in his brain. School. When he asks his foster parents if he can attend Saint Augustine High, they are reluctant to let him go. Eventually they give in, but this is the worst possible decision they could make. Why? Because at school, there is someone who wants to break a covenant. Which puts Jayke's life in danger.
Opinion:
This is truly one of the funniest books I've ever read. Some of the situations Jayke gets into are ordinary, but the way he deals with them is anything but! His humor and insight made me laugh more times that I care to admit, and he seemed very relatable. It's been awhile since I've read a story with such life-like characters that I actually cared about, and Shawn P. Keenan did a marvelous job making them seem realistic. Overall, Shawn P. Keenan did a marvelous job with this book. The only complaint I have is that the beginning was a bit slow for my taste. Other than that, this is a must-read for any teenager who wishes to just sit down with a book and have a good laugh.
