Feed by M.T. Anderson

We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck.
A futuristic novel where computer implants are in each person's head feeding constant advertising, media and commentary based on purchases. Titus meets Violet and discovers her thoughts and experiences are different than his and his friends and he is troubled.

I hated this book at first. The choppiness of dialogue, the advertisements at the end of each chapters and the "slang" used by Titus and his friends drove me crazy! I reread it and found myself still being driven crazy but I was able to find the satirical point to the story and enjoyed it.
