Bowl of Cherries

Many of the reviews I've read of this book have compared it to Catcher in the Rye, which I don't think is an apt comparison. The protagonist of Bowl of Cherries isn't nearly as insufferable as Holden Caufield and the novel is actually an enjoyable, poop-pun-filled romp through lovelorn adolescence.
