(Bender: Book One) Cheers! To the Freaking Weekend tells the story of a group of teens trying to grow up and learn about love and life with little adult supervision and lots of drinking. The story focuses on the trials and tribulations of the Brickview students: Louie Bray, Maxine Pearce, Samuel Ward, Maya Stokes, Nicholas Tran, Leighton Mills, Joseph Clark and Francis Pugh. Although not the same age as the Brickview students, Louie's younger sister Isabella Bray still has a strong connection to the main group. Sam tries to be everyone's friend and usually ends up on the short end of the stick. He is mostly manipulated by his best friend Louie, whose girlfriend Maxine he is in love with. Louie is one to try anything once, including every girl he meets. He manipulates not only Sam and Maxine but anyone else who will let him. Francis is just looking to lose his virginity, and though he is a Muslim, it rarely stops him from partying excessively. Gay and popular friend Joey is along for the ride, while trying to pursue his dream of being a writer and photographer in the city. Maya, an eccentric basket-case, is in love with Sam, who overlooks her time and time again. Straight-laced Leigh wants to focus on her musical ambitions. And their happy-go-lucky friend, Nico, is a fucking firecracker! Having become friends before the story begins, the plot deals with the group's transition into adulthood, along with confronting issues such as romantic relationships, familial bonds, substance abuse, religion vs. sexuality, health problems, pregnancy, and losing someone...

'When your breath becomes faint When your heart seems but quaint You'll know that touch of blue lips Upon bottle tips They say love is so pure Yet it isn't the cure For a soul that's lost in your eyes' You've heard it all before. The rebellious teenager who sings in a band and struggles with the woes of teen drama. They fight with their girlfriend and have a spat with their parents, and then it is all wrapped up by the end in a nice little bow. This isn't that kind of story. Clay Hudson is eighteen and is on the right course to go to the university his parents have chosen for him since he emerged from the womb. He has a girlfriend, Kaylee, and somewhere lost in that mix are his best friends: Fletcher who is ready to kick some ass with him, even if Clay is somewhat of a teacher's pet, and Chelsea, who is fighting her own battle, wanting to reclaim the friendship Clay's broken. Clay has pushed them from his life in favour of a night of wild highs and alcohol-fuelled adventures. The thing is, that life is a series of false thrills, and in the end, these adrenaline deceptions are distracting Clay from the things that truly matter in his life. Since he was little, Clay has dreamt of entertaining a crowd, singing his soul's notes to an audience that would love the pure bliss and magic that comes from music. But school is ending soon, his friends are almost lost to him, and Clay realises his life is a fanciful nightmare. With the weight of expectation crushing down on him, his dad's illness, and the feelings he harbours for Fletcher springing forth after a long period of burial, Clay has to cast aside the shackles of his superficial life and rediscover what inspires him in life, and who truly matters. Sounds pretty usual, right? But then again, No one ever said finding balance, the pure note Clay seeks would ever be easy. -Contains coarse language, some sexual content and scenes of an upsetting nature.
