JB is an affable, claustrophobic, daydreaming eighteen-year-old pop star with a kind heart and a passion for making music. Swaggy is a pleasure-driven, smooth-talking, manipulative narcissist with a hair-trigger temper and a voracious lust for fame. Though the two have been inextricably linked since time out of memory and share a bond far greater than mere brotherhood-indeed they share the same body-Swaggy has long believed their "partnership" to be less than equitable, and secretly dreams of the day he will step from the shadows of their collective consciousness and into the spotlight.When a distraught JB reveals that he is no longer certain he wants to live the life of a superstar, Swaggy knows that his time has finally come, and suggests they take off for a few days, just the two of them-no entourage, no security detail, no throng of paparazzi dogging their every move. But what begins as a seemingly innocuous trip to Sin City soon evolves into a journey of discovery as JB comes to realize that the world outside the ivory tower isn't quite what he'd expected-and further, that Swaggy, his most trusted confidant, may in fact be his own worst enemy.Filled with humor and insight, JB: Or The Unexpected Virtue Of Being Swaggy is a thoroughly unique coming-of-age fantasy tale that surges toward an unforgettable action-packed climax on the Vegas Strip.
