As a condition of school suspension, Adam must attend porn addiction group treatment under the supervision of his nemesis Mr. Cratcher. Adam confronts the family problems that cause him to use porn as a distraction while learning to lean on his new friends, family and even the not-so-awful Mr Cratchet.

The first third of THE TEMPTATION OF ADAM reeled me in with Dave Connis's witty, engaging voice in Adam's narration. I loved how Adam's father rallied to confront his own issues that prevented him from being present for Adam and Adam's improving relationship with Mr. Cratcher. Connis allowed the potential love interest to burn slowly while addressing the possibility of a potential relationship becoming another addiction. No insta-love and no love cures mental illness.

The plot lost traction for me when the group decides to take s road trip, rather than stay with their ailing leader who might not survive until they return. While the trip was to obtain something, abandoning the sick man who has no family seemed like an unlikely, unkind but convenient plot device. THE TEMPTATION OF ADAM lost focus, and lost me at this point and never really got me back into the story.
