Welcome to Litsy!

A teenager discovers his voice in this contemporary love story from �one of young adult literature�s greatest living writers� (Booklist). Shy teenager Karl is desperately in love with his girlfriend, Fiorella, a literary enthusiast who�s asked him to write her a letter in which he reveals his true self. There�s just one problem . . . Karl is dyslexic. Convinced that his attempts to express himself with words will end in disaster, Karl tracks down Fiorella�s favorite novelist and begs him to take up the task. The famous writer unexpectedly agrees, but on one condition: Karl must participate in a series of interviews so the author can pen an authentic portrait of his affections. What follows is a series of misunderstandings, a startling revelation, and an unusual bond that will change all three of their lives. A moving story of love and friendship, Dying to Know You is the perfect novel for �that cloudy expanse between older teenager and younger adult, a novel that doesn�t pretend to advise, but merely sees its characters for who they really are� (The Guardian). �This quietly understated performance captures the wistfulness of music in a minor key.� �Kirkus Reviews (less)
