Wise Young Fool by Sean Beaudoin
Ritchie Sudden is in juvie. Why is he there? We don't actually find out until chapter 86. There are 90 chapters. Anyway, some of the chapters are told in the present tense, from juvie, but most are told in the past tense to show what got him there.
Ritchie has one really good friend, Elliott. They are in a band. They want to play at a gig that could further their careers. At the very least, it can get them out of their town. Ritchie is in love with Ravenna, but it seems he doesn't have a chance with her. Or does he?
Ritchie's mom is a lesbian, but she hasn't always been one. Her girlfriend lives with them, and tries to give Ritchie advice. Another girl is into Ritchie, but he's not really into her. He has a douchebag teacher, and some jerk wants to beat the crap out of his best friend. Basic teenage drama.
This was actually a fun read. More books should be like this.
