Christina Reviews *Swim the Fly*

         Three friends set a summer goal:  To see their first naked girl in the flesh.  They’ve been setting goals for years, and this one is, by far, the boldest.  They come up with all kinds of crazy schemes in pursuit of their single-minded goal.

          Meanwhile, the protagonist, Matt, falls in love with Kelly --- a new girl on the swim team.  He agrees to swim the butterfly in the upcoming competition in order to impress her.  So between practicing for that and plotting with his friends, you would think he would have no time for anything else.  And yet there’s a subplot involving his older brother and a hilarious subplot involving his grandfather’s infatuation with an older woman next door.

       This book has been compared to a Judd Apatow film for teenagers.  And I would tend to agree with that.  

        Four stars out of five.
