Love and Other Perishable Items
Laura Buzo
Fiction B989l2012
Love is awkward, Amelia should know.
From
the moment she 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, is 15.
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?
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.
