Love, death, sex, homework--it's all part of the same problem when
you're sixteen.
Tony Vivamano steps out of the shower**--steaming hot naked--**and
tries to eat a roast beef sandwich while he shaves and admires his
muscles. It's clear to him that he is a millionaire in biological gold
and he should be prepared to share his riches. -I am a hedonist, - he
tells the mirror practicing a sophomore vocabulary word. The problem is,
Tony's best friend Patrick Cantwell is too busy trying to write a paper
on wisdom on a Friday night to go out looking for girls. With a little
coaxing, Patrick and Tony are racing off in The Love Machine, Tony's
mother's station wagon, and the trouble soon begins. Most Improved
Sophomore takes the reader on a hilarious ride through the world of
1970s high school partying, soul searching and the one thing all
sophomore boys want: True Love. A comic novel loaded with laughs, but
also a serious exploration about what it means to go all the way in love
and friendship.
