Preppy: The Life & Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part One (King #5) by T.M. Frazier 

SUMMARY 

You thought Preppy was dead...you thought wrong.

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck. 
He s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves. 
Andrea Dre Capulet is strung out and tired. 
Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever. 
And their deaths. 
For most people, death is the end of their story. 
For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning."

MY REVIEW 

You thought Preppy was dead...you thought wrong.

Yes, I thought he was dead....and that's the reason I delayed reading his story for more than 3 years. I hate reading about dead men walking.
What a huge mistake! The beginning of his trilogy was heartwrenching, but also so much more. 

We finally learn everything about Mr Clearwater, his childhood, his absent mother, his abuser, what shaped him to be Preppy.

I loved this guy! Although as a typical pig-headed man does everything to drive the love of his life away.

Favourite scenes:
1. When his mother asks for his forgiveness and he manages NOT to kill her slowly and painfully. 
2. Preppy, Dre and Bear. What an unexpectedly hot scene!
