Love and Other Perishable Items

Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo
With touches of both feminism and literary criticism, this realistic YA romance and coming-of-age story told in diary format from two points of view (his and hers) wasn't at all what I expected. Strong contender for the Morris Award which will be announced on Jan. 28. The library owns this one as a downloadable e-book. (As to the Morris, my personal fav is The Miseducation of Cameron Post - but I've got a feeling Seraphina might be the winner.) Fav Quote in Laura Buzo's debut: "Don't try to understand other people's marriages... You'll be lucky if you understand your own."

My prediction was correct - Seraphina just won the Morris! -- Nimble Novice on 01/28/2013
