Description
A coming-of-age story with a sharp, funny edge, this memoir follows Marc Acito as he navigates the messy, exhilarating path to college—where ambition collides with money, family expectations, and the realities of growing up. Through a series of vivid encounters and hard-won lessons, he explores what it really means to “pay” for an education: not just financially, but emotionally and morally. The book blends humor and candor to examine themes of class, identity, responsibility, and the search for belonging. Acito’s distinctive voice—wry, observant, and deeply human—turns everyday moments into a resonant portrait of striving, resilience, and self-invention.
