Swim the Fly by Don Calame

This was donated by Mrs. Lynch, a former WHHS star swimmer herself.  She said I'd find it hysterical.  Truth.

After Ayn Rand and 1491, I needed something light.

This was a fast read, one late night waiting for my sister to text she was safely back in St. Louis followed by a rainy morning.

How to sum up this book?  If the writers of American Pie and Road Trip wrote a book, it'd probably be something similar.  Gratuitous references to masturbation, farts, poop, barfing...

Matt, Sean, and Cooper make a deal every summer to do something on the crazy side.  This year it's to see a real, live naked girl.  What ensues is a ridiculous ride through impossible scenarios ala Jim, Finch, and Stifler, with Matt being the Jim of the group for sure.

I will wager some people will be a bit turned off by the content, but this is clearly not meant for everybody.  If you want a good laugh, and maybe a few "ewwwwwwwwwww" moments, definitely check this one out.  

Apparently there is a sequel too, focusing on Cooper.
