Matt, the main character of this novel, is reminiscent of Holden Caulfield and Charlotte Simmons. He hates what he sees around him, yet longs to fit in. For awhile, Matt does fit in. As a geeky, overweight high school graduate he spends the summer slimming down and getting hip before he moves to NYU for school.
