"Think of a cross between The Breakfast Club (the “College Years” version) and “How I Met Your Mother,” with a lot more imbibing of alcoholic beverages and gratuitous sex thrown in for good measure, and you might get some glimmering of an idea about the awesomeness that is the plot line of The Friday Night Club by Jacob Nelson Lurie." (Douglas Cobb, reviewer for Bestsellersworld.com)

"This quasi-autobiography isn't your typical bachelor's last fling, although there are the quintessential drunken parties, humorous scenarios, assaults and ultimate arrest. Although couched as a coming-of-age story, The Friday Night Club goes beyond that, delivering poignant, profound insights into the struggling mindset of a young man as he passes into adulthood. Lurie skillfully pulls his reader into Davis's angst, his at-times conflictual relationships with his Friday Night Club partners, his earnest yearning for something he thinks is unattainable. This intriguing book doesn't limit itself to men; women will enjoy the read as much, if not more." (Christy Tillery French, reviewer for Midwest Book Review)

"I loved this novel of Men Behaving Badly. This is both hilarious and poignant, filled with the antics of what men are really like. I highly recommend!" (Susan Reinhardt, author of 'Not Tonight, Honey: Wait 'til I'm a size 6')

The plot? Well ...

Davis Robertson is in mid panic attack. His fiancée is walking down the aisle, the love of his life sits watching, he's sure an attack by vengeful strippers is imminent, and there's a little matter of a gun wielding, RV stealing tow-truck driver out to kill him.

Davis' struggle kicks off four days before the wedding when a reunion of college friends causes dormant memories of his reckless youth (the Heaven/Hell party involving a paint-ball splattering roommate, a bevy of strippers, and the mysterious Fat Spider-man; his father's death; and the road trip involving acid trips, a Tylenol on wheels, Scientologist kidnappers, and the homicidal tow-truck driver) to collide with the reality of comfort and possible death-by-boredom.

So, what to do? Marry his fiancée, resigning himself to an ordinary existence? Escape to Brazil with the love of his life to enjoy passion and uncertainty? Or run from both and return to his hedonistic lifestyle, filled with flesh, drink, party, and few cares?

THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB is a coming of age story for adults in the spirit of STAND BY ME. Its first person narration is stylized in the vein of Nick Hornby and Jay McInerney, with dead-on dialogue akin to Elmore Leonard.
