It's the story of Leo King in Charleston South Carolina, alternating between his senior year in high school and his present twenty years later. During his senior year in high school he meets all of the people who will shape his future, including his best friends and his future wife. I liked it, though the characters tend to be whiny or to perfect to exist in real life (Leo, really? No one's that good a person man). But for fans of Prince of Tides or the Great Santini, it's a great read.
Hopefully Nick Hornby's newest won't be a month between reading and making it up here. It's really good so far, though I hear the ending sucks.
