Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck. He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the … to end the life he loves.
Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.
Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.
And their deaths.
For most people, death is the end of their story.
For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.
This is book 5 in the KING series and it is highly recomended that you read the previous four books to best enjoy Preppy’s story.

My review could have just said ‘ I love Preppy’ the end.
Seriously what more is there to say. Preppy is one of those unique characters you can not describe, he’s not like anyone you have probably ever read before. The first chapter is so full of preppyism, you almost forget how much you’ve missed this motherfucker.
His dry sense of humor, his wit and charm. If you have already invested in this series, no review I can write will do this book any justice. Simply put just Read it. This story is epic, I’m glad he’s back and I can’t wait to see to see what else is store for us.
Please read the entire Preppy series. I laughed out loud in public places, I cried on the airplane as I read the last book. The characters are outstanding and so realistic, you’ll find yourself emotionally involved with them. This is the second time I’ve read these books & they have not lost one iota of emotional impact. I wish there were more. I highly recommend you read the entire series, starting with King. Hats off to T.M. Frazier, the entire series is unbelievably fantastic and it hurt to see it end.
The end is here. Although I’m sad that this is the last book, I juse love this whole series. Preppy is certainly a one of a kind character, he’s pretty unforgettable. I didn’t find this one blowing me away like the past 2, but it’s never a hardship of getting more of Preppy and Dre. Especially parts with the whole crew. I can say without a doubt, this is truly a fantastic series. I also say, read this series!
Aaaawwwwww…..
Preppy just watched his best friend get sentenced to a couple of years in prison and is trying to get by with his new Granny Growhouses. He’s not expecting the granddaughter of one Granny to show up, or for her to be a suicidal heroin junkie. Dre just wants to go home, even more than she wants her next fix. Until Preppy gives her something else to crave.
I’m not going to lie, after reading about Preppy and his ‘tastes’ in King and Bear’s stories, I was kind of expecting a female lead like Rage! Dre, on the other hand, is vulnerable and defeated. With Preppy’s help, she’s able to regain some of her spirit and get her fight back, but she’s not the psychopath I had pictured.
Preppy and Dre’s love story isn’t sunshine and roses. It’s dark and painful, yet leaves you just as obsessed as they are to their addictions. When the lies keeping them together come to light, Preppy shuts himself off from his feelings. He has a long road to travel ahead of him, one he’s not prepared for. But when he makes it through, will he be able to get Dre back, and keep her this time? I can’t wait to find out!
5 Stars!!!
Preppy: The Life & Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part One by T.M. Frazier is the first in a three part series about our one and only Preppy.
Once thought dead, with an actual funeral, grieving friends and all, he is now back with us. We get a preliminary look into his life during the timeframe when King was locked up and we meet the one woman that could take everything this one really fucked up (but completely loved) guy had to offer.
Dre was all over the place and it totally worked for her character. Once she finally succumbed to the drug that is Preppy her other addictions really took a back seat. I know there will be so much more she has to deal with but for the sake of spoilers and the fact that this book is only part one of three just know Preppy’s story was emotional, emotive and just pure fantastic everything!
