Grow Up

Hailed as "one of the most hilarious and well-observed accounts of teenage debauchery you are ever likely to read" by the trendsetting British lifestyle magazine Dazed & Confused, Ben Brooks's Grow Up is a shocking, stylish, and very modern coming-of-age story.

As Jasper J. Wolf careens through high school, his list of to-dos includes: get high with friends, seduce the hottest girl in school, and, last but not least, expose his stepfather as a murderer. But as growing up soon teaches him, what he wants and what he gets are often wildly different—and decidedly unexpected.

"Grow Up is absolutely knockout-Brooks is blessed with a blinding grasp of terse, lyrical prose, and has the timing of a genius stand-up comic." -Richard Milward, author of Apples

" Sickeningly good. So confident, so stylish. An unacceptably witty and original debut." -Tim Key, author of Instructions, Guidelines, Tutelage, Suggestions, Other Suggestions, and Examples Etc.
