Despite his efforts with Sarah at the start of term, fourteen-year-old Archie is still as geeky and as clueless about girls as ever. Then he meets Clare, a sixteen-year-old who has relationship problems of her own, and they create a fake relationship to try and get their crushes to notice them. What could possibly go wrong?
There are lots of authors out there at the moment writing wonderful contemporary books about teen boys navigating the perils of growing up - I wish I'd had anywhere near this much of a choice of books to read when I was a teen myself! - and Andy Robb is one of the best of them.
Some of those other excellent authors writing humorous books about teenage boys include Tom Clempson - check out [[One Seriously Messed-Up Week: in the Otherwise Mundane and Uneventful Life of Jack Samsonite by Tom Clempson]] - Don Calame, whose series starting with [[Swim the Fly by Don Calame|Swim the Fly]] is great, and Jesse Andrews, who wrote the fabulous [[Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews|Me and Earl and the Dying Girl]]. {{amazontext|amazon=184715364X}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=184715364X}} {{interviewtext|author=Andy Robb}} This review was kindly given to us by the ever-generous [http://yayeahyeah.blogspot.com/ Ya Yeah Yeah]
