"From the moment Chris first teaches her to use the cash register at her new after-school job, Amelia is head-over-heels in love with him. But Amelia is 15, and Chris is 21 and a university student, so Amelia knows they'll never get together... but she can't help how she feels. This debut novel from an Australian author is realistically awkward, sometimes hysterically funny, and occasionally heartbreaking and will delight readers who like large casts of quirky yet believable characters, genuine emotion, and stories told from multiple perspectives."
