And it made me laugh. What else would you want in a book?" --Melina Marchetta, Printz Award-winning author</i><br /> <br /> From the moment Amelia sets eyes on Chris, she is a goner. Lost. Sunk. Head over heels infatuated with him. It's problematic, since Chris, 21, is a sophisticated university student, while Amelia, 15, is 15.<br /> <br /> Amelia isn't stupid. She knows it's not gonna happen. So she plays it cool around Chris--at least, as cool as she can. Working checkout together at the local supermarket, they strike up a friendship: swapping life stories, bantering about everything from classic books to B movies, and cataloging the many injustices of growing up. As time goes on, Amelia's crush doesn't seem so one-sided anymore. But if Chris likes her back, what then? Can two people in such different places in life really be together?<br /> <br /> Through a year of befuddling firsts--first love, first job, first party, and first hangover--debut author Laura Buzo shows how the things that break your heart can still crack you up.<br /> <br /> "A sweet and scathingly funny love story." --<i>Kirkus</i>, Starred Review<br /> <br /> <i>From the Hardcover edition.</i></p>.
