Exit Strategy by Ryan Potter - Release date March 1, 2010
Who are you supposed to look up to when it seems like every adult you know is more screwed up than yourself?Looming above Zach Ramsey's hometown are the smokestacks of the truck assembly plant, the greasy lifeblood of this Detroit suburb. Surrounded by drunks, broken marriages, and factory rats living in fear of the pink slip, Zach is getting out of Blaine after graduation. But first, he's going to enjoy the summer before his senior year.
And Zach's having a blast until he uncovers dark secrets that shake his faith in everyone, including his best friend Tank (a state wrestling champion), whose 'roid rages betray a shocking habit. Falling in love with Tank's twin sister Sarah, an Ivy League-bound scholar, doesn't exactly make Zach's life any easier.
Eventually, with enough evidence to nail the town's steroid kingpin, Zach is faced with the toughest decision of his life—one that will prove just what kind of adult he's destined to be.
I'm really excited about this book because not only does it sound awesome, but Ryan Potter is from my home state of Michigan, and the story takes place in Michigan. This is Ryan's debut, is it on your Debut Author's Challenge list?
