He leaned in, his lips meeting hers, which tasted faintly of peanut butter, and he closed his eyes, and he held her by the shoulders, and he kissed her. It was exactly as he thought it would be, like the first time and the millionth time all at once, like being wide awake, like losing his balance. Only this time, it wasn't just him; this time, they were losing balance together.
so-soWinger (protagonist) is very static. He begins the story with a "loser" status and a plan to change this. The book is anticlimactic and Winger undergoes no significant changes until the last pages when Joey comes up missing. I had to wait 400 pages for something to happen aside from fighting over girls. My unpopular opinion is that Winger is only okay. Nothing really special. However, I enjoyed the comics and realistic portrayal of a teenage boy.
