From Jennette McCurdy—the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died—comes Half His Age, a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the lengths we’ll go to in order to get what we want. Waldo is a ravenous, blunt, naïve yet wise, impulsive, and angry seventeen-year-old girl who is 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 growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion and life experience? Or the similar filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s that he sees her when no one else does.
In her debut novel, McCurdy delivers a rich character study of a yearning teen who disregards all obstacles—or attempts to overcome them—in her effort to be seen, desired, and loved.
