The Upshot by Brad Spencer

A story of friends spending their childhood together as the best of friends. Something happens to one of them to change the path their lives are to take. Jimmer changes after seeing his father commit suicide. No longer wanting to be seen as a whimp he teams up with his coach and becomes a muscled up looker with a flair for the ladies and a little side business. Sam moves away and gets married and is living an unhappy marriage. Holly falls to the drugs after being a perfect child most of her life. This is a great story of friendship despite the challenges and the ultimate revenge. I really enjoyed this novel. It took me awhile to get my head into the jumping around in time however. Past to present and back again. I was gifted this book from the author in exchange for an honest and fair review
