“Unless you’re a pool player or a magician, wearing a vest outside your own house is surely not an acceptable thing to do.”
“All billionaires are ugly. Why do you think they become billionaires in the first place? Do you think if Mark Zuckerberg looked like me he would have bothered to invent Facebook? No, he would’ve been too busy banging hotties.”

This story has fun “10 Things I Hate about You vibes.” Considerably more graphic sexually, than I am used to reading, it glorifies losing your virginity as a young teen. it also has lots of examples of teenagers being absolutely horrible friends to another.
But if you can look past that, it’s quite cute and there’s lots of fun witty banter. There were several times where I laughed out loud. I’d love a follow up book to see where these two end up.

Lobsters is een hilarisch verhaal over Hannah en Sam die beide niet als maagd naar de universiteit willen gaan. Door dat gegeven en de rest van de flaptekst dacht ik oprecht dat het echt een boek vol seks, liefde et cetera was. Gelukkig viel dat best mee, er kwamen ook andere dingen in voor, en de verhaallijnen vond ik heel erg leuk. Soms gebeurden er dingen waarvan ik dacht: 'oh nee wat erg gebeurt dit echt?', zo ongemakkelijk wow, maar dat maakte het juist ook heel grappig. Het einde was wel teleurstellend, vandaar de vier sterren.
Lobsters is het perfecte boek voor jou als je van een enorm grappig, en ongemakkelijk liefdesverhaal houdt!

4.5/5
Vraiment très sympa, pleins de légèreté. Pas mal de moments m'ont fait sourire. Les personnages sont vraiment attachants. J'ai eu un véritable coup de coeur pour la toute la partie de l'histoire qui s'est déroulée pendant le festival. Ce livre est absolument approprié comme lecture d'été au bord d'une piscine ou sur le sable!

Socially awkward is a fitting phrase for this...I couldn't believe some of the stuff that was happening to Sam and Hannah and their friends.
Our groups of almost eighteen year olds are on the cusp of adulthood, and we watch them in their summer before heading off to university. We get the inevitable post-exam analysis; the drunken fumbles; the changing issues around friendships; a growing sense of needing to become independent and the highlights of summer-holiday and festival.
Throughout this I was laughing out loud at so many moments. I was also groaning, cringing and torn between being thankful I am long past that age and desperately wanting to return to that time, where anything seems possible.
I liked the two characters and their somewhat disastrous attempts to get into any kind of romantic situation. What really made this was the splitting between male and female viewpoints.
Can't wait for Freshers now...

Lobsters, een extreem awkward liefdesverhaal. De titel van het boek zegt het goed: extreem awkward. De enige twee woorden waarmee dit boek te beschrijven valt.

I would just like to point out for those of you reading this book that they do make Harry Potter references in this book. If you have not read those books and intend to read those books, do not read this book unless you are ok with spoilers.
That being said I was hoping to enjoy this awkward love story. It was just ok. Totally was awkward and maybe a little more so than I cared for. I enjoyed the references of them trying to find their lobsters as that is something I’ve always referenced as well in looking for my life partner. The good news is the characters seem like real people with real problems. It has relatable qualities.

Stupid. The whole book was literally about kids trying to lose their virginity. Nothing more.

This book was really enjoyable and I would liken it to the tv show skins but with less vulgarity. Definitely a cute contemporary.
