Book Review - The Great American Whatever

📖Recommend for Grades 10 and up📖 
by Tim Federline
            After the death of his sister Annabelle, aspiring screenwriter Quinn stopped going to school and rarely even leaves his room. Now, with the encouragement of his friend Geoff, Quinn not only leaves his room, but he re-enters society, where things seem to look up. He meets a cute guy who may actually like him back, but there are other secrets that could bring him down again. As hard as he tries, Quinn's life may be one screenplay he can't write the way he wants.
            In a lot of ways Quinn seems old for his age, but also young and vulnerable at the same time as a result of his sister’s sudden death. Quinn’s grief is only one layer of this though. His budding romance, friendship with Geoff, screenwriting dreams, along with his grief, all tell his story. Throughout the book, Quinn makes numerous film references but one does not need to be a movie buff to enjoy them.
