Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo

3.0

This one was kind of cute, but one of those YA novels that are drastically better for an actual teenager than for twentysomething me. It's about a fifteen-year-old girl with a crush on a twenty-year-old guy she works with at a local grocery store. She knows nothing's really going to happen given their age difference, but she can't really quell the butterflies. It's written very true to a fifteen-year-old's voice and intersperses diary entries from Chris's perspective. I liked it and I'd recommend it to tweens looking for a light read, but it was a little too young for me to really lose myself in.
