Totally Awkward Love Story
Totally Awkward Love Story | Tom Ellen, Lucy Ivison
Some loves are meant to be. Others are awkward. Get ready for the second type in this "laugh-out-loud" (Bustle.com) romance about missed connections and trying to find--and keep--"The One." Written by a former real-life couple! The summer before college, Hannah swears she's finally going to find The One. And for five perfect minutes, she does. She just wishes she'd caught his name. For Sam, the summer is off to a bad start. But after five minutes with some strange and hilarious girl, he's head over heels. With his luck, though, he'll never see her again, and he'll remain a girlfriendless, moony-eyed virgin. Forever. But another chance meeting brings them together, only to have a misunderstanding drive them apart. Madcap mishaps, raunchy hilarity, and deep romance follow these two wherever they go. For two people so clearly destined for each other, they sure have a hell of a lot of trouble even getting together. "Filled with madcap, hilarious moments and deep romance, A Totally Awkward Love Story will have readers laughing out loud as they commiserate with Sam and Hannah and remember their own awkward moments." --Hypable.com "Broad City meets Judy Blume." --YABooksCentral.com "An engaging and endearing story of what it is to find your place in the world and a person to share it with." --Kirkus Reviews

It‘s the summer before college, Hannah & Sam meet, hit it off, but they don‘t exchange names/contacts. They don‘t think they‘ll see the other again, but they keep running into each other. Each time, it‘s filled w/ mishap & miscommunication.

⭐️⭐️💫 I didn‘t really enjoy this book. It was kind of boring & cringy. I didn‘t really like the characters & the writing could‘ve been better. There were a couple funny lines tho.

Feeling the need for a fluffy love story. The cover fits the bill... Here's hoping the book does too.

Tl/dr: Two high school seniors go through some challenges before getting together

Good:
The boy voices are pretty authentic.
There are some funny turn of phrases.

Bad
Fairly regular situations
Characters are fairly simply drawn

Kind of like a Porkies movie as a book. Really just so so.

Because I need something to balance out the heaviness of Gone Girl, and this looks like a cute and quick read 😊

This was a cute, feel-good story. I laughed out loud throughout, and it made me nostalgic for high school, which is weird because I hated that time of my life. Definitely worth picking up for a quick, fun read.

My own #totallyawkwardlovestory: Serving ice cream at my local creamery, a boy I liked came to the window & asked me to be his gf. He then tried to kiss me thru the window, but the ledge was so wide, I had to push through it to kiss him. When I got down, my boss was staring at me...

Kaylamburson This was also my first kiss. 9y

That moment you discover that the book doesn't take place where you thought and you have to change accents and the picture you have of the main characters.

Super cute ARC packaging for A TOTALLY AWKWARD LOVE STORY, complete with a letter from Sam + lobster finger puppets! Hysterically funny British contemporary YA, notable for complex girl friendships and an extreme sexual frankness I've never before seen in YA. Out May 6th, 2016.

SophieWaters I'm so glad this had made it over to the US! So brilliant. 9y
misswendyd @SophieWaters It really is! I finished it in one sitting late last night and can't stop thinking about it. I may have to bump up my star rating on GoodReads. 9y

This would be a great summer read! Funny, rude, and honest--very "American Pie". Would have maybe liked it better if my life was as drama filled, awkward, and had pined for hot boys.

The title of this book is pretty accurate. It's really awkward...and cringe worthy. I'm not a fan.
