Description

Alfie thinks Maya might be the One, and he's desperate to tell her ... until she reveals she's got a new, older boyfriend. Crushed, Alfie starts hanging out with Maya's shy best friend Gwen - and develops feelings for her. But Gwen's hiding something, and Alfie's confused.

As Alfie looks for love within his friendship group, things get complicated - until Alfie makes a big mistake. Can he score with the girl of his dreams - or is he onto a losing streak?

A sweetly funny romance about a boy looking for love in all the wrong places.

Critic Reviews

"Deeply relatable. Very refreshing to see a romance set in the world I grew up in, with characters I grew up with. Teen boys should be flocking toward this" -- Nathanael Lessore "Fresh, funny and full of heart. Impossible not to fall for" - Lisa Williamson

"A fun, refreshing read. It feels really genuine and heartfelt, and the characters are so well done – just a joy to hang out with. And the dialogue is brilliant throughout. It makes the story feel so authentic and immersive" - Gavin Extence

"Romantic, touching and laugh-out-loud funny – Loverboy is a properly raucous and joyous teen comedy" - Tom Ellen

"Loverboy deftly captures the romantic chaos of teenage dating – readers' hearts will ache for Alfie and his friends" - James L. Sutter
