Everything Looks Impressive

Everything Looks ImpressiveÂ is a knowing, smart look at college life today, showing the battles young people are fighting during the â€œhappiest years of their lives.â€Â

Yale: an Ivy League bastion of privilege, a breeding ground of Americaâ€™s elite. Here you are the clique you belong to, as demonstrated by the clothes you wear and the drugs you prefer. Here everything, including sex, has been politicized.

Where does Alex MacDonald, fresh from a small blue-collar town in Maine, fit into all of this? He isnâ€™t sure. Heâ€™d like to win the favor of Jill Lanigan, but her tastes seem to run to her own sex. And heâ€™d like to connect with preppie roommate Brook Morehouse, but heâ€™s troubled by Brookâ€™s superficial values. And when the tension among these antagonistic campus groups turns bitter in the wake of a violent party in which both Jill and Brook are involved, Alex begins to question where his loyalties lie.

Hugh Kennedyâ€™s debut is fresh and full of news about contemporary youth, a coming-of-age novel that ranks with the classicsÂ This Side of Paradise,Â Catcher in Rye, andÂ Bright Lights, Big City.
