Synopsis

Meet Will Carter, but feel free to call him Carter. (Yes, he knows it’s a lazy nickname, but he didn’t have much say in the matter.)Here are five things you should know about him:1. He has a stuttering problem, particularly around boobs and belly buttons.2. He battles Attention Deficit Disorder every minute of every day…unless he gets distracted. 3. He’s a virgin, mostly because he’s no good at talking to girls (see number 1).4. He’s about to start high school.5. He’s totally not ready.Join Carter for his freshman year, where he’ll search for sex, love, and acceptance anywhere he can find it. In the process, he’ll almost kill a trombone player, face off with his greatest nemesis, suffer a lot of blood loss, narrowly escape death, run from the cops (not once, but twice), get caught up in a messy love triangle, meet his match in the form of a curvy drill teamer, and surprise the hell out of everyone, including himself.

End the R Word Day 2012 Being inside the head of a fourteen-year-old boy is scary! This book was incredibly real, very entertaining, and laugh-out-loud funny. It is a book with five star potential, but alas, I could only give it two. I'm about to get preachy... Carter Finally Gets It was a good book......more

Goodreads review by Terry on December 08, 2010

What grabs me most about this book is Crawford's rendering of Carter's adolescent, ADD voice. From the first page, I knew this character. In this way, it surpasses Don Calame's Swim the Fly, although there are striking similarities in tone and plot between the two. And unlike several other teen come......more

Goodreads review by Rachael on September 04, 2012

A very funny book that I'm sure the majority of boys would enjoy reading, plus girls too. While the book is great and I would love to recommend it to teens at my library I doubt that I will. Mostly because of parents, I think most in my area would freak out at the idea of this book in their kids' ha......more

Goodreads review by Erin on December 06, 2009

Carter is a freshmen in high school with a few things on his mind: girls and how to fit in. A year in the life of a 14-year-old, the book is sexual, full of bathroom humor and embarrassing moments, and occasionally funny. More often than not, though, I was just sort of disturbed by the objectificati......more
