The Boys
"...grab yourself a drink, a stiff one, make it a double, settle into your easy chair, open The Boys, and begin. You’re home for the evening. And I promise you this, Lucas and Lowell will haunt your dreams." —John Dufresne, author of I Don’t Like Where This Is Going
Darling Jean Bramlett has been accepted into the college of her dreams. In the first thrilling days of her freshman year, she works hard in her classes and dreams of becoming a famous poet and a scholar. Then she meets two upperclassmen, Lucas and Lowell. Brilliant, handsome, confident, they seem to be everything she wants to be. They pull her into their orbit, and with them she embarks on a series of increasingly bizarre and violent adventures, ultimately resulting in murder.
