Resumen del Editor
1. He has a stuttering problem, particularly around boobs and belly buttons.
2. He battles Attention Deficit Disorder every minute of every day...unless he gets distracted.
3. He's a virgin, mostly because he's no good at talking to girls (see number 1).
4. He's about to start high school.
5. He's totally not ready.
Join Carter for his freshman year, where he'll search for sex, love, and acceptance anywhere he can find it. In the process, he'll almost kill a trombone player, face off with his greatest nemesis, suffer a lot of blood loss, narrowly escape death, run from the cops (not once, but twice), get caught up in a messy love triangle, meet his match in the form of a curvy drill teamer, and surprise the hell out of everyone, including himself.

Historia
Blue Collar Comedy star Bill Engvall is just a guy. He's been one his whole life. He can't help it; he was born that way. And that makes him an expert on the subject. For the record, here's the official definition of a guy: a person who doesn't think before he speaks. He can't. He's not that deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping, and sex. That's it. Just a Guy chronicles a lifetime in pursuit of those needs.

Historia
Mishna Wolff grew up in a poor black neighborhood with her single father, a white man who truly believed he was black. "He strutted around with a short perm, a Cosby-esque sweater, gold chains and a Kangol---telling jokes like Redd Fox, and giving advice like Jesse Jackson. You couldn't tell my father he was white. Believe me, I tried," writes Wolff. And so from early childhood on, her father began his crusade to make his white daughter down.

He can't tell his best friend, Tabby, how he really feels about her; he implodes on the JV basketball team; and the only place he feels normal is in Mr. Ellis' English class, discussing the greatest fart scenes in literature and writing poems about pissed-off candy-cane lumberjacks.

Amber McCloud’s dream is to become cheer captain at the end of the year, but it’s an extra-tall order to be joyful and spirited when the quarterback of your team has been killed in a car accident. For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose. Amber tries for unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down. Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other.

Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

Victor hates his life. He has no friends, gets beaten up at school, and his parents are always criticizing him. Tired of feeling miserable, Victor takes a bottle of his mother’s sleeping pills - only to wake up in the hospital. Bull is angry, and takes all of his rage out on Victor. That makes him feel better, at least a little. But it doesn’t stop Bull’s grandfather from getting drunk and hitting him. So Bull tries to defend himself with a loaded gun. When Victor and Bull end up as roommates in the same psych ward, there’s no way to escape each other or their problems. Which means things are going to get worse - much worse - before they get better.

Funny and so believable!
So many of the YA books I've recently read, or read when I was a teen, was told from a teen girl's perspective. I find it extremely refreshing to now be reading books from the teen guy's point of view. It's incredibly entertaining! As a female, I had no idea what teen guys thought or felt, but if it's anything like Carter in this novel - and I'd be disappointed if it wasn't! - then their minds go a lot of place in a few minutes. And it's hilarious! The character of Carter and 'his boys' left me giggling in public and laughing aloud like a mad person when alone. Brent Crawford did a wonderful job of cutting the angst of growing up and replacing it with hilarious, embarrassing, moments that will leave you shaking your head, mumbling 'You are such an idiot!' a lot, to wanting to fight your way into the novel and give Carter a tight hug.
As for Nick Podehl narrating this audiobook. He. Is. PERFECT! He just is. He brings such enthusiasm and realism to the characters that I'm a little jealous that he clearly has so much fun doing this job! This is exactly the genre he belongs in reading, and he does an amazing job at it. May he continue to be given these books to narrate. He's great at it!
Worth the credit if you don't mind being stuck inside a teen guy's head for a few hours and just want something a little light and a little teen-angsty and a lot funny!

So funny..
Yet another hilarious coming of age read skillfully narrated by the talented Nick Podehl. Author Brent Crawford doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel with this one, but I’m a sucker and true fan of this genre when it's executed well and CARTER FINALLY GETS IT is funny, heartwarming and very well written.
William Carter is a fairly popular, good sweet loveable kid. Although he has ADD and a slight stress (and pretty girl) induced stutter, none of that is Carter’s real problem. So what is?... Well he’s also a clueless 14 year old male starting his first year of high school. And what a freshman year it is; a true rollercoaster to say the least. I highly recommend joining him through all the ups and downs of school, sports, girls, bullies, friends, vicious dogs, illegal parties, cops, cars, love and loss.
CARTER FINALLY GETS IT is chock full of life lessons and personal growth and a ton of amusing, yet embarrassing and realistic “moments” that will have you grinning from start to finish. This is a read guaranteed to entertain and one that is sure to be adored by fans of similar books like SWIM THE FLY, SPUD and BEAT THE BAND. Can’t wait to start the sequel.

Excellent!!
This book was selected by my book club Mocha Girls Read as our book of the month for August. I have been thinking about picking this one up. Now I finally got a reason. Thank you book club.
Louisa is your average everyday young lady growing up in tiny village with an ordinary or more like a boring life. That is until she loses her coffee shop job and has to find a new job quickly. As one of the few bread winners in her family making an income is extremely important to the well being of the four generations living under one roof. When the job placement agency sends her on a interview for a care taking position, Louisa gets it and that is when everything changes. In comes Will, a rude and hard to get along quadriplegic who was once an well traveled adventurist. Will and Louisa don't get along but that is not saying much for and about Will. He has been in a deep depression living in the annex of his parents home with 24 hour care since he has tried to commit suicide. I know this sounds really heavy and deep and it is. Not the hot summer beach read but it was a great read. The story has moments of light and laughter here and there. Louisa's boyfriend is too funny but shhh! don't tell him, he thinks he is serious. And Louisa completely reminds me of Bridget Jones but a younger version.
There are so many controversial and conversation tidbits in this books. The issue of a young woman living in a small town and not having any experiences outside her small world, the issue of quality of life, and the big one is the issue of assisted suicides. That is THE heavy and controversial topic the book slaps you with.
From what I have heard a few people cried when they read this book. Is there something wrong with me? I didn't cry. I didn't get choked up. I felt sad and let down but not to the point of crying. Sorry. I am a softy but this didn't do it for me.
The narrators did a good job. I appreciated having a variety of voices for the different sections in the book. Overall, I really like the story. Will and Louisa are really well written and thought out characters. The ending I am not going to tell you about but I was hoping for a completely different ending. I am happy there were some loose ends tighten up here and there because that would have just been plain rude if it wasn't. If you finish the book you'll know what I mean. I think the author did a great job with this topic and made it interesting from a new point of view.

Funny as hell!
Not for people who are easily offended but sooo funny! Good light hearted coming of age story. Nice to see teenage angst from the male point of view.
