New Psychological Thriller: The Wachuga Project
Stratford, CT - Jeremy Barnard appears to be a normal kid. He's good looking, well-mannered, from an affluent family, has even earned valedictorian of his class. A perfect recipe for success. Then why is his life one, big, epic fail? Because every time he tries to speak, a complete and utter mess comes out. School life is hell, with Jeremy's Neanderthal peers mocking him at every turn.
Jeremy longs for a normal life. He'd give anything for the ability to socialize at a party, or to tell his high school crush, Samantha, that she's beautiful... give everything to earn his father's respect and no longer be a laughing stock.
Little does Jeremy know, his salvation lies in Calvin Ortiz, a hot-headed, maniacal thug who stumbles upon something extraordinary while hiking with his brother in the jungles of Costa Rica - a plant... a beautiful, vibrant green plant teeming with delicate, fuzzy flowers that look good enough to eat and that’s exactly what he does. In the ensuing moment of stoned clarity, Calvin contacts the one person he knows with enough connections to turn his discovery into some serious bank. And with that one phone call, The Wachuga Project is born, and Jeremy's life, for good or ill, will never be the same. Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for...

My review;
I just finished reading, "The Wachuga Project", and I found it to be both scary, terrifying and sad all at the same time. It is the story of a young man named Jeremy Barnard who has to deal with a lot in his young life, not to mention his terrible father. I was very surprised at the ending. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
