American teenage life seems frantic at the best of times. Here, in between making grades, making money and growing up, Dave finds himself caught in the middle between his loyalty to his flamboyant best friend, Jep, and his pleasure at the attention Jep's beautiful girlfriend, Susan, begins to pay him. There's plenty of incident, much dramatisation of the conflict and a final section which allows Dave to come to terms with the consequences of all that has happened.
