Randy the Irresistible by S M Goodier is a story that tells us about the hardships young adults face time to time. The everyday ongoing struggle to make enough income, youthful appearance, friendship, and romance. Randy who is the protagonist of this novel is the third child of John and Marjorie Love. After the birth of their first two children; Harriet and James, the couple, to their middle age, decided to retire but suddenly given the responsibility of raising another child came as a surprise to this couple. Randy is selfish, manipulative, intelligent, a little bit immature , a little dense, and hearthrobingly  handsome. His good looks made him quite popular among the ladies, and more often than not, the attraction tends to be mutual. However, there are times this handsome young man in his twenties has to face a big burden he wasn't ready for. He drops out of school and tries to tread working jobs on his own and due to his intelligence, his employers hate to see him go after seeing that he was a great employee.

The book is unique and filled with humor and sarcasm , I really liked the fact that the main character was created in such a way that he wasn't just full of flaws. I loved the way every single character was shown and described about and I also liked the author's choice of speech.  The author had a realistic point of view and created the character; Randy Love as that one person that gets us annoyed on regular occasions but we love them just the way they are. I am glad that the author provided an 'Index of British Terminology and Slang' at the end of this novel and I found it to be very helpful because I am not familiar with British and this arrangement saved me the stress of my broken vocabulary to work with .

I didn't notice any error and it was given a proper ending. A little bit editing may cone in handy at some places.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I didn't find anything I disliked about Randy the Irresistible. It was relaxing to read and humorous. The author did a fabulous work.

I recommend this book to young adults. It is not suitable for people that are not comfortable with sexual content as this book contains some. There is mild alcohol use as well.
