Meet Jay Baker ... or, as he is not-so-affectionately called by his opponent in the freshman-class presidential election: Gay Baker.A few random bullet points about Jay:-He's not a gay baker (but to each his own).-He's in love with his best friend, cheerleading dynamo Cameo "Appearance" Parnell.-He's also trying to score (points) with earthbound tennis-playing goddess Caroline Richardson.-He's fighting a losing battle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.-His family life cookie is about to crumble. Root for Jay as he exchanges ego-blows with his Doritos-powered mortal enemy, gets awkward around his dream girls, Swiffers up the pieces of his parents' relationship, and, finally, learns to keep it realer and be himself(ish).

Love means never having to say, "You're awkward." Crap, or is it "you're sorry"? Regardless, Jay Baker is awkwardly in love with two girls and making no apologies for it. Mostly because he assumes they don't care. But when an awesomely bad plot twist throws his life into a tailspin, Jay's story takes a dramatic turn for the weird. Nothing he knows will ever be the same. "Lol" funny and 100% original, The Edumacation of Jay Baker is Jay Clark's whip-smart debut novel, exploring what it means to be young, in love, and infatuated with something (or someone) you can't have. In other words: to be in high school.
