TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod

Blurb:

TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod is; bold, provocative, rude, sexy, suspenseful, unpredictable and witty. You will want to be 18 again. TJ (Taj James) an 18 year old high school basketball star wants to make this summer his best ever, before he leaves to take up his college basketball scholarship, but he needs help. So, he rolls the dice and calls on his 55 year old Uncle Peter, a womanizer par excellence, to help him with those plans. TJ holds secrets for Uncle Peter so TJ was very sure his uncle would do anything for him, as his uncle's promises seemed more sacred than wedding vows. As summer rolled along TJ is forced to make decisions whether to be a good boy or to practice some of the lessons his uncle is teaching him. Was it worth it when summer ended? That will depend on whose side you are on.

Review: 4 stars

TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod by Garfield Whyte is an interesting coming of age story. There was a lot that I liked about the book and some things I didn't care for. I liked the relationship between TJ and his uncle Peter other than the keeping secrets part. It was a bit inappropriate in my opinion. They were pretty insuperable during the summers. The two of them were involved in a shenanigan or two. It was interesting to watch TJ navigate all the situations that came up in the book. It has an interesting array of characters. Some were memorable while others weren't. I would recommend this book to other readers who enjoy YA coming of age stories. It isn't for everyone due to the secrets that are being kept but is a good read.
