Will Ferguson is not one for rules.
He likes to go all out … often until he blacks out. But one night of drunken escapades leads to a very unwanted pregnancy. Will’s party life comes to a halt as he is thrust into a situation he is not prepared to handle, and things tumble from bad to worse. With all of his options spent, he turns haltingly to the Catholic faith that he’s ignored since childhood.
The Undergraduate is Less Than Zero for the Millennial generation—a painfully relatable tale of reckless youth met with the sudden intrusion of adult responsibility and burning questions of moral culpability. Will’s search for redemption is not just personal; it’s the hero quest of an entire generation.
Humorous, empathetic, and emotionally honest, The Undergraduate tackles some of the most explosive topics in America today—unplanned pregnancy, abortion, pornography, sexual abuse, exploitation, and religious faith— in a way that will appeal to readers regardless of their background.
