Summary

From award-winning author Phil Earle comes the hilariously agonising account of one teenage boy’s disastrous attempts to win the heart of the cool new girl at school.

Up until now, Marv’s uneventful life has revolved around playing football with his best mate, Jimmy. But things take a turn for the dramatic with the arrival at school of new girl Carly Stonehouse.

Marv falls in love at first sight, but there’s no way a girl like Carly will ever look at him. Unless, perhaps, he enlists help from a very unusual source.

Follow Marv on his hilariously agonising quest for love, featuring his Croc-loving dad, a fast-food addicted musical idol from the past and some of the most cringeworthy song lyrics you might ever have heard …

Critic reviews

“Delightfully, toe-curlingly cringe for any teen who’s ever felt useless around their crush. Hilarious and heart-warming.” – Holly Bourne

“Phil Earle’s hilarious first-love story is for everyone who’s ever dared to fall head-over-heels. It’s note-perfect portrayal of discovering romance is guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe and cheer.” – Keith Gray

“A brilliantly funny and achingly real story that perfectly captures the life of a teenage boy in all of its awkward, cringy glory. I absolutely loved it!” – Simon James Green
