yö, das ist grün bis zum Geht-nicht-mehr.

einmal wollte ein sympathischer Aqua freund von mir, daß ich mit ihm rauche. Und ich wollte nicht. und er bestand darauf. und ich tat es nicht. usw. Habe ich seinen Spaß halbiert?

When Astrid and Hiro meet they give each other superhero names. She's Lobster Girl and he's Shopping Trolley Boy. Not an auspicious beginning. But it gets better. Then it gets worse. Much worse. Classic romantic comedy: girl-meets-boy, love blossoms, and is derailed. Incredibly engaging, upbeat, funny and smart.

Astrid Katy Smythe is beautiful, smart and popular. She's a straight-A student and a committed environmental activist. She's basically perfect.

Hiro is the opposite of perfect. He's slouchy, rude and resentful. Despite his brains, he doesn't see the point of school.

But when Astrid meets Hiro at the shopping centre where he's wrangling shopping trolleys, he doesn't recognise her because she's in disguise - as a lobster. And she doesn't set him straight.

Astrid wants to change the world, Hiro wants to survive it. But ultimately both believe that the world needs to be saved from itself. Can they find enough in common to right all the wrongs between them?

A romantic comedy about life and love and trying to make the planet a better place, with a little heartbreak, and a whole lot of hilarity.

this sounds interesting.

ich werd mir gedanken machen, ob ich es mir bestelle. seit langem keine liebeskomödie gelesen.

danke für den hinweis übrigens
