Why read it?
1 author picked Yuck, a Love Story as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When Amy moves in next to Austin, he is not impressed. He doesn’t need any girls in his life to mess up his perfect existence. He has a dog. He has a best friend. And he knows that a T-Rex will eat a girl with freckles. This book perfectly captures the strange world of very young love in the most innocent and hilarious way.

The art makes it an even more enjoyable read, adding to the dry, witty humor and dialog in unexpected and fun ways.
From Marty's list on to laugh so hard milk shoots out your nose.
