Exit Here is a novel about a boy named Travis who lives by sex, drugs and rock n' roll.  This book tells his story after he has dropped out of school after something happened on his trip to Hawaii. But now he is home and hasn't been the same since he got home.  There are a lot of characters in this book and some of the guys are kind of hard to tell apart but i think that might be the idea. Travis's ex, Laura, happens to always be around even if it isn't for the best.  It is no secret that Travis likes cocaine and his friends enjoy it too. Travis and his friends are deep into drugs, some deeper than others, but Travis tries to grow and change while his friends don't want to leave the party. You think that Travis is messed up, wait till you find out about his sister...
This book is really really good. But it is really graphic. There are a lot sex scences, so it isn't for young readers at all. I read Go Ask Alice in 8th grade so atleast like 15 or 16 to read this book probably. But then again i told Hannah she can't read it and she is going to be 16 soon so it all depends how exposed you are to this lifestyle. But older readers, for sure pick up this book. It is a really fast read but it is heavy. I mean crazy crazy things happen to this guy, things I oculd never imagine but they happened to him and they aren't unrealistic.
So to sum it up, really good read. Graphic language and details, lots of drugs and sex, but a really good message and great growth by Travis.
i would leave you with a quote but there isn't one that won't A)give anything away or B) the language is okay enough for everyone to read it so...
Happy reading!
