MARCH PICK
Half His Age - Hardcover by Jennette McCurdy
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we'll go to in order to get what we want.
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, USA Today, Bustle, Town & Country
Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn't know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn't? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it's just enough that he sees her when no one else does.
Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles--or attempts to overcome them--in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved.
Tell Williams (he/him) is a Queer Puerto Rican Educator, Social Worker, and Therapist living in the Philly suburbs—yes, those suburbs. After spending over a decade wrangling tiny humans as a full-time pre-K teacher (and somehow surviving with minimal glitter-related injuries), he made the bold leap back to school to get his Master’s in Social Work. Now, he splits his days teaching social and emotional skills to kids from pre-K to 6th grade—because Lord knows we all need it—and offering therapy to adults who are just taller versions of those kids, but with more expensive coping mechanisms.
