Pool Boy by Michael SimmonsBrett has always been a spoiled rich kid, and he is entirely unprepared for the life of "poverty" forced upon him when his father is convicted of illegal stock trading. Since money means everything to Brett, and since he now has none, Brett gets a job. His first job, at Fast Burger, doesn't last long. Brett hates the job, feels that it's beneath him, and it shows. He quits just as he is about to be fired. Then he gets a job working with Alfie. Alfie is the guy who used to clean Brett's pool, back when Brett had a house with a pool. Alfie is an old guy in his seventies, who is always running, always moving. And Alfie needs some help with his pool cleaning business. Working with Alfie, Brett learns how to deal with his own anger at his father.
This book is well written but
very predictable. The book jacket is very frustraing. It has a picture of a guy swimming(which is misleading as Brett isn't allowed to swim in the pools he cleans) and half the guy is on the right end of the front cover, and half on the left end of the cover, and I can't connect the two halves. grrr.
Happy reading.
