There’s nothing cozy in this book - classify it under the genre of WTF. 

A shattering, three-wheeled rollercoaster ride through the mind of a self-alienating teenager, packed with humor, unsettling opinions, acerbic observations and gut-churning terror.

Eighteen-year-old Warner Truman is going to be president one day. He’s certain of it. The greatest ever. But right now he wants you to know how he ended up a reluctant high school hero - the good, the bad, and the truth.

Warner's a pretty nice guy if you're nice back to him. But despite his best intentions, he found himself caught in a nightmare of abuse, murder and  terrifying madness. 

The romance is short, the real-life horror shocking, and some of it’s going to offend. Big time. You may even laugh out loud now and then. Just make sure nobody at the book club sees you. 

But don’t judge Warner. This is America. Where two plus two can equal five if you say it enough times to the right people. Big dreams come true here……

If you’ve got what it takes.
