Love and Other Perishable Items
written by Laura Buzo
I found this book to be funny and full of entertaining thoughts of both young adults. The main characters in this book include, 15 year old Amelia and 21 year old Chris, whom live in the country of Australia. While Chris is a young adult trying to find his way through adulthood, often turning towards alcohol, marijuana, and long shifts at their local supermarket, Amelia can't help fall madly in love with him. Now, throughout this novel, Chris writes in his journal discussing his search for "the perfect woman." while Amelia is illustrated through her face-to-face contact with her crush. All in all, this book includes both the struggles and blessings of falling in love at such a young age.
This was a pretty fast read - being slightly under 300 pages - I was able to finish it pretty quickly. Laura Buzo did a tremendous job keeping the story interesting, yet not too predictable. I would strongly recommend this book to any teenage girl in need of a good, upbeat love story.
Happy Reading!
