Grow up

As he careens through high school, Jasper's list of to-dos includes: get high with friends, finish his novel, alleviate his best friend's suicidal depression, seduce the hottest girl in school, dispel claims that he is the father of an unborn child, and, last but not least, expose his stepfather as a murderer. But as growing up soon teaches him, what he wants and what he gets turn out to be wildly different, and decidedly unexpected.--From back cover.

  • "Jasper has his hands full. Finishing high school would be hard enough without a mother pushing him to overachieve, and his friends pushing drugs down his throat. And then there's his stepdad: moustache-wearing, patronising, and, as all the evidence suggests, a murderer."

  • "Jasper has his hands full. Finishing high school would be hard enough without a mother pushing him to overachieve, and his friends pushing drugs down his throat. And then thereâ??s his stepdad, the murderer. A comedy in three parts, it offers a revelatory portrait of the pills, thrills and bellyaches of growing up today."@en
  • "YouTube suicides, possible pregnancies, drug comedowns, and getting straight As -- meet Jasper: a seventeen-year-old with his hands full. Weekdays are packed with visits to the psychologist, mounting parental pressure to achieve in school, scouring the Internet for porn, and trying to figure out whether his stepfather murdered his ex-wife. Weekends are focused on finding the next party, the best drugs, and sex -- preferably with Georgia Treely -- but really with anyone he can get. Brilliantly encapsulating the nihilistic and disaffected voice of a generation, Grow Up is a frank portrayal of on."
  • "Jede Generation hat ihre eigene Geschichte übers Erwachsenwerden. Das hier ist eure."
  • "Een prettig gestoorde 17-jarige Britse jongen wil zijn eindexamen halen, maar drugs, seks, verkeerde vrienden en een problematische vriendin staan zijn streven in de weg."
  • "In a humorous coming-of-age novel, high school student Jasper J. Wolf wants nothing more than to get high with friends, bed the best looking girl in school--and expose his stepfather as a murderer."
