Young Adult Friction

Filled with alcohol, drugs and general debauchery, Young Adult Friction, is a brutal coming-of-age novel that encapsulates 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 his close friends -Donnie and James- soon become the source of their own social demise, tying in many others with viscous consequences that climax in a moral armageddon. Narrated in a flat tone with an inordinate amount of cultural references, 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.
