Jack (Vintage Contemporaries)

In Jack, A. M. Homes gives us a teenager who wants nothing more than to be normal€"even if being normal means having divorced parents and a rather strange best friend. But when Jack€s father takes him out in a rowboat on Lake Watchmayoyo and tells his son he€s gay, nothing will ever be normal again. Out of Jack€s struggle to redefine what €œfamily€ means, A. M. Homes crafts a novel of enormous humor, charm, and resonance, the most convincing, funny, and insightful novel about adolescence since The Catcher in the Rye.
