King of the Screwups is definitely a must-read if you're looking for a sensual and humorous book to read. It's basically about a boy named Liam Geller who goes through many ups and downs in which he cannot truly discover himself. With a mom ex-supermodel and a business-oriented and a dictatorship of a father, Liam has troubles. Serious troubles. After screwing up after a series of many times, Liam goes off to stay with his Uncle. More known as Aunt Pete, as he is gay. Living in a trailer in the middle of somewhere, if not nowhere. Liam tries to please his father at his new school and tries to be unpopular, but since he was born as Mr. Popularity, he was destined to be no matter what. No matter what he did, with the good looks he got from his father and fun-contagious personality, he only becomes the most popular in school and even ends up being Homecoming King. Deep inside, however, he's a good kid who is just trying to please everyone. In actuality, he's a true people-pleaser. In the end, he reveals that he's always wanted to be a supermodel and his true, good ole self - which still strikes him as Mr. Popularity.

This story was a really amusing read told through Liam's own perspective. Great to read, outside or inside your car.
