Love and Other Four Letter Words
By Carolyn Mackler
A funny and honest novel about a teenager's summer of love and learning.
Sammie Davis is sixteen and her life is anything but perfect. Her parents have separated, and she's had to leave her cosy life in suburbia for a tiny apartment in New York. She begins a hot and humid summer struggling with feelings of resentment, anger ... and lust for the Johnny Depp look-alike in her apartment block. As the vacation rolls on, she finds new depths to the word "love", and comes to understand that with it come other four-letter words, like "hate", "loss" and "gain". But most important of all, "grow".
