Half His Age

Beskrivelse

Half His Age is a gripping and emotional novel that explores themes of desire, class, and power through the eyes of a seventeen-year-old girl. Written by Jennette McCurdy, the bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died, this story delves into the complexities of longing and the lengths we go to fulfill our wants.

A compelling tale of youth, obsession, and the search for connection.

Waldo is a whirlwind of emotions-hungry, impulsive, lonely, angry, and endlessly yearning. What she craves most is Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher. He’s a man weighed down by responsibilities: a wife, a child, a mortgage, and fading dreams. Yet, Waldo is drawn to him, unsure whether it’s his passion, his life experience, or the fact that he knows stories and films she doesn’t.

Maybe it’s something deeper-they might be kindred spirits, seeing the world through a similar lens. Or perhaps it’s simply that he notices her when no one else does. Packed with sharp wit, emotional depth, and keen insight, Half His Age is a poignant exploration of a young girl’s desperate desire to be seen, wanted, and loved, no matter the obstacles in her way.
