Synopsis

Beautiful but troubled Colleen Minou is the only girl who ever looked at Ben Bancroft as more than just a spaz—more than that kid with cerebral palsy. But the more time Ben spends with Colleen, the more glaring their differences appear, which makes him wonder if what he feels for her is actual affection or if it’s just gratitude.And then there’s A.J. She’s everything that Colleen isn’t, and everything that Ben’s grandma wants for him: clean cut and upper class, academically driven, and just as obsessed with movies as Ben is. But what does she see when she looks at Ben? C.P.? Or the person behind the twisted body? In this sharp, darkly humorous follow-up to the acclaimed Stoner & Spaz, Ben tries to come to terms with his relationship with Colleen, who is sometimes out of it, sometimes into him, and always exhilarating.

Goodreads review by Stacey

I really liked this book. I was glad there was a second book. I loved the characters from Granny with her sophistication to Colleen with her addictive personality. There was a lot of tolerance for differences in the story. People coming to terms with who they are finding their way and seeing who can......more

Goodreads review by Dustin

I read the book is called Now Playing Stoner and Spaz II by Ron Koertge. The book does get pretty confusing like if they are one place they end up going somewhere else in the next sentence and don’t tell you they are.
