Unfortunately, false advertising...
Revisado: 10-03-23
This book advertises itself as a 'breakfast club' style friend group who compete on their high school speech team. Which is something I would LOVE to read.
Unfortunately, it is not. It is the adult ramblings of a middle-aged gay man about his sexual exploits and festering insults from his high school coach. Speech team is barely in the book at all. Could have never mentioned speech team, and hardly anything about the book would be changed.
I kept waiting for it to just be a framing device and that it would go back in time, and I'd get a fun breakfast club group of high school misfits finding camaraderie. It never happened.
As someone who competed in speech team competitions and found profound growth confidence and meaning in the activity... God, this was disappointing...

Loved it! It's fantastic and useful. Really thorough covering positive change arc, flat arc, and 3 variants of the negative change arc.
