My Kind of Crazy

Descripción

Review "With its offbeat characters and quirky romance, this first novel is sure to appeal to readers who enjoy Frank Portman, KL Going, Ned Vizzini, and Rainbow Rowell." - Booklist"This first-time author has deftly captured what it is like to be a supposedly "average" kid trying to gain the attention of an out-of-his-league girl... The characters, even the supporting ones, avoid stereotype, and their dialogue is authentic and interesting. Readers will find a bit of themselves in the protagonists' actions and emotions." - VOYA Magazine"Robin Reul absolutely sparkles in this witty, charming, and thoroughly entertaining debut that celebrates the bit of crazy in all of us. This is my kind of book!" - Jessica Brody, author of A Week of Mondays and 52 Reasons to Hate My Father"Reul crafts a romantic hero who is valiant, sensitive, self-deprecating, and a little confused about which girl he wants to date...The road to romance between Hank and Peyton may be bumpy for them, but readers should find it entirely enjoyable." - Publishers Weekly"Funny, authentic, and, at turns, heartbreaking." - Jessi Kirby, author of Things We Know By Heart"A sensitive look at two teens with complicated histories learning to build a future together. " - Kirkus"Robin Reul has created the perfect novel. From flawed, yet lovable, characters, to Hank's fresh voice, to a storyline so well plotted the ending is entirely satisfying, the book draws readers right in and doesn't let go. While telling Hank and Peyton's story, this book also imparts broader life lessons, much in the same vein as Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl. It isn't preachy, but challenges readers to see people, and their problems, in a different way simply by introducing them to great characters who also happen to be dealing with great obstacles. Very highly recommended." - San Francisco Book Review About the Author Robin Reul has been writing stories since she was old enough to hold a pen. Though she grew up on movie sets and worked for years in the film and television industry, she ultimately decided to focus her attention on writing young adult novels. And unlike Hank, she does not know how to ride a bike. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son and daughter. My Kind Of Crazy is her first novel.
