#augustbartontour

August Barton could never have mentally prepared himself for his freshman year of college: not only has his anxiety increased, but his parents are divorcing, his new roommate thinks Augie is the biggest nerd in existence, and his grandma, a retired prostitute named Gertie, has taken to running away from her nursing home. Augie just wants to hole up in his dorm room with his Star Wars collectables and textbooks, but Gertie is not about to let that happen. What ensues is a crazy ride including naked trespassing, befriending a local biker gang, and maybe-just maybe-with Augie defeating his anxiety and actually getting the girl.

My Thoughts - Story
What a fun and quick read that had me laughing and following along with Augie and Grandma Gertie. I found this story so engaging with Gertie helping Augie deal with his fear of coming out of his comfort zone.

The secondary characters were an integral part of this story and the author did a wonderful job of developing them into Augie’s story.

Even though you may not like reading books with teenage males being the main character, the author incorporates so much of the other characters that you end up being endeared to Augie and his crew of misfits!

The only problem I had with this book is how quickly it ended. I wanted more of Augie and his antics!

This is a great debut story from Ms. LeBlanc.
