Be careful what you wish for

High school senior Chris Bent despises everything in life--his family, his math teacher, the 'it girl' classmate who seemed to like him. But the sharpest thorn in his side is someone he's never even met. Chris happens upon a mysterious black wallet on the street one day, belonging to one Andrew Ashbury. Chris tries to return the wallet at first and is discouraged. He eventually starts spending Andrew's money freely, intending to replace it. As his home situation worsens, Chris' desire to leave (and jealousy over Andrew's comfortable lifestyle) grows stronger, and he takes matters into his own hands. I won't go any further, as to not spoil the story. I liked the fast pacing of the story and was disappointed when I realized it was over, though it certainly allows for the reader's imagination. While the ending was a bit of a twist and left open, which I enjoyed, I think the whole storyline involving the dysfunctional family has been overused. Otherwise, it's a great read.
