(2) YA College-guy narrator Jake Jacobsen decides to take an extended break from speaking after unwisely blurting out to his best friend Sean that he has slept with three of Sean's previous girlfriends. "Writing feels safer somehow. I can catch myself before I say the wrong thing." The novel's engaging jumble of correspondence--notebooks, dry-erase boards, napkins, paper tablecloths--amounts to a study of vulnerability.
