Elliot Spellman wanted to live; he wanted to feel the rush everyone else did. He was tired of being just some kid in the back of the class who went home every night to study in his bedroom.
That was how he found himself in an alley, dealing marijuana. He wanted this, he needed this. Not marijuana, but friends, a group, the thrill.
Beatle, Mi, Trick, and Whiskey all agree that he can join them in their unlawful behavior (despite how boring his name is). And they all slowly bond, except Elliot seems to bond with Beatle more than the others. Maybe, a little too much.

Thoughts
Oh my freaking God. Words cannot describe my love for this book. It took me a while to read it. It was just sitting in my library, the first chapter read. Idek. I'm an idiot. The plot is just amazing and how Elliot progresses throughout the book, not even with his relationship with Beatle, is just beautiful. It truly captures a teen's struggle with self-discovery perfectly so kudos to the author.
I go back and reread it every once and a while if I want a quick laugh or read the steamy scene because WOWZA.
