YA
Australian teen Alex obsesses about the upcoming notification of whether he'll be accepted at university. Then he meets a girl, and his whole summer--as well as his way of thinking about himself and his future--changes. Alex's self-deprecating, low-key humor wends through his leisurely narrative as he gets to know Fortuna, whose hippie family at first seems exotic to him.

YA
Dan is spending his senior year living with his aunt, Jacq, in Brisbane. Jacq is just a few years older than Dan, and her sweet, sexy roommate Naomi has all the right qualities to engender in Dan a full-blown crush. Dan's ruefully observed narration of unrequited love will keep the attention of any boy once persuaded into its pages.
