Nice Island, Shitty Kids

I went into this book with a pretty correct idea about what it would be about. It reminded me of every job I've ever had; a bunch of childish boys trying to decide who's in charge.

What surprised me is that it was actually a nice little tropical vacation of sorts. I should have read it in wintertime.
