NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes “a thorny examination of power, lust, shame and rage” (Los Angeles Times) from “a writer able to capture some of the darkest parts of human nature with unflinching honesty and devastating humor” (NPR)

“Unapologetic and undeniable . . . If there was ever any doubt whether the narrative command that Jennette McCurdy displayed in her bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died might translate to fiction, let it henceforth be put to rest.”—Elle
Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Forceful. Hurting. Perceptive. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all: Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films and things that she doesn’t? Or is it purer than that, rooted in their unlikely connection, their kindred spirits, the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does.

Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is a rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be seen, to be desired, to be loved. Belletristik Coming of Age Frauenliteratur

I loved the Story so much! The only thing I didnt like at first, but after some time was not really bothering me anymore, is that she reads really fast. But it fits the story. I want more books like this!

Perfect

So many comments caught up on the “grossness” but bodies ARE gross sometimes and actually that’s just called being a human. Indulging in Protestant and fascist ideals of cleanliness equating to some kind of purity can and should be fought against. McCurdy doesn’t shy away from that which I appreciate. It’s honest and real. Women bleed, sex is messy - welcome to the real world.

She reads quickly which is satisfying and it’s an entertaining story that you can binge in a day. She represents being young and wanting to be validated and seen so well, not to mention how accurately she depicts the lecherous nature of men. An amazing first novel! Highly recommend.

Gross but that’s real

I think Jennette McCurdy is a fantastic storyteller and narrator. This book is gross and uncomfortable on its own, and heartbreaking when knowing it is inspired by relationships she herself has had in her teens.

Jennette is going places

Sehr gut geschriebenes Buch. Sprecherin ist toll aber redet sehr schnell. Kann man aber gut einstellen. Klare Empfehlung!

Tolles Buch!
