Young Adult Friction

Filled with alcohol, drugs and general debauchery, Young Adult Friction, is a brutal coming-of-age novel that encapsulate the disaffected generation of teenagers: who take hedonism more seriously than life itself. The conflicted narrator Matthew Spencer, starts the school year unlike any other student and brings a wave of profligacy to those around him; with countless parties and hook-ups, the relationships of Matthew and close friends –Donnie and James- soon become the source of their own social demise, tying in many others with vicious consequences that climax in a moral Armageddon. Narrated in a flat tone with an inordinate amount of cultural references, and its very own soundtrack, Young Adult Friction takes you into the mind of a wealthy seventeen year old boy, in a society that seems to hate its own youth.
