Boys, My Mum, and All the Other Crap
Illustrated By
Carolin Dendorfer
Marie is an expert in all things love – at least in theory because she would be able to answer every single question that is asked in the Bravo’s Dr. Sommer column. In practice, however, it is a completely different story – unfortunately – as her actual experience is limited to smooching exercises with her own forearms. And she would so much prefer to kiss Flo, the brother of her best friend, Sonja!
But he doesn't even seem to notice she exists. And Sonja is not of much use to help her change that because, all of a sudden, she starts behaving very strangely. And then, on top of that, there are problems at home with her mom going mental. And she can only hope that nobody will ever see the embarrassing drawings that Marie’s hand, taking on a life of its own, scrawls into her biology exercise book…
A strong new voice in adolescent literature
In a flippant manner, protagonist Marie tells the story of her complicated teenager life
With funny drawings inside
