King of the Screwups

By K. L. Going
King of the Screwups by K. L. Going digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Liam Geller is Mr. Popularity. Everybody loves him. He excels at sports; he knows exactly what clothes to wear; he always ends up with the most beautiful girls in school. But he's got an uncanny ability to screw up in the very ways that tick off his father the most.
When Liam finally gets kicked out of the house, his father's brother takes him in. What could a teenage chick magnet possibly have in common with his gay, glam rocker, DJ uncle who lives in a trailer in upstate New York? A lot more than you'd think. And when Liam attempts to make himself over as a nerd in a desperate attempt to impress his father, it's his "aunt" Pete and the guys in his band who convince Liam there's much more to him than his father will ever see.

Slightly Smiling Face“Loved this book! Finally getting into reading and this was the first book in a long time that I managed to finish. Love the characters. Love the plot.”
Characters change and growColorful personalities
“What didn't work in this: The ending was way too abrupt. As for the kids, other then the main guy, don't really feel they're fleshed out enough. What did work: Pete and the other guys, they were awesome. Every scene with them was just so heart-warming. Liam, he's a hetro fashionista who's not afraid to show it which is so cool to see and he's so hard on himself though when he really shouldn't because he's actually a great guy. Liam and his uncle's relationship, he needed that positive parental figure in his life because both his parents are utter shits, especially the father. When Liam is trying to be unpopular and everything he does makes everyone love him is so amusing, literally he'd try anything and instead of making him unpopular, they did the exact opposite every single time.”
