Every summer since they were little, Matt Gratton and his two best friends, Coop and Sean, have set goals for themselves. This year, it's to see a real live naked girl. Pictures don't count. Porn doesn't count. A real girl, alive and warm and luscious, counts.
Meanwhile, Matt is busying trying to figure out how he can win the attention of Kelly West, a beautiful fellow swimmer. He decides to volunteer to swim the 100 fly--the hardest race ever--in order to impress her, but quickly realizes that he is NOT equipped to swim the fly at all.
In between trying to accomplish their goal and trying to make sure he doesn't end up making a fool of himself, Matt doesn't realize that he also has time to open his eyes to some bigger and better things that are out there for him.
What can I say about SWIM THE FLY that will do it justice? This book absolutely blew me away. I found myself rolling on the ground in laughter and devouring the pages as I couldn't stop flipping through them, eager to see what sort of scrapes Matt and his adorable friends get themselves into. Think "There's Something About Mary" starring teenagers, and you can get a slight sense of the appeal that this book will have for both males and females.
SWIM THE FLY is just the right combination of gut-splitting humor, teen romance, and failed "missions" to win the hearts of any reader. I await Don's future novels with great impatience now!
