Youth has been good to Davis Robertson: as proud members of The Friday Night Club, he and his college buddies got together at the end of every week and partied hard to celebrate their survival through another round of tests, papers, and the other challenges of university life. On top of that, Davis has enjoyed more than his fair share of “fleshly indulgences,” including everything from strippers to extended acid trips. So, as he reminisces while watching his fiancée walk down the aisle toward him, Davis is suddenly confronted with three equally compelling choices: 1) follow through with getting married and settle for a mundane life of boring routine; 2) run away to Brazil with the love of his life in pursuit of unchecked passion; or 3) make a beeline back to his indulgent lifestyle of drinking, partying, and stripper-juggling. With so little time to make the most important decision of his life – how can Davis possibly choose...?

Definitely not for the young or faint of heart, The Friday Night Club is quite the titillating read. Taking the reader on a vicarious journey through the hedonistic life and times of a self-indulgent party animal, author Jacob Lurie’s engaging tale doubles as a salacious story of the highs and lows of living life to the fullest, as well as a poignant commentary on the virtues of finally growing up. Skillfully penned, and backed by a vivid cast of vibrant, larger-than-life characters, The Friday Night Club successfully combines humor and gravitas in conveying a cautionary tale of learning to appreciate what you’ve got – while you’ve still got it. As a result, readers of all ages – and at all stages of growth and development – are sure to relate to the numerous hidden truths peppered throughout Lurie’s narrative that make it so endearing – and highly worthwhile. A recommended, enjoyable literary treat.
