Rats Saw God by Rob Thomas does have Nirvana references but just insert your favorite band/artist and you'll be fine!. Steve (main character) has normal teenage problems -- parents' divorce, first love (and everything that entails), dad's on his back, etc!.

I read it as an adult (for work), and I laughed and couldn't put it down!. In fact the last time I talked to a coworker who was reading it also, she was enjoying!. it too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
