I Love You, Beth Cooper

I Love You, Beth Cooper
Author(s): Larry Doyle

Denis Cooverman wanted to say something really important in his high school graduation speech. So, in front of his 512 classmates and their 3,000 relatives, he announced: "I love you, Beth Cooper."

It would have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so far out of her league he is barely even the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, who's in town on furlough from the United States Army. Complications ensue.

Review(s):
“Gleefully clever and adroitly sweet.”
“In the flagrantly funny I Love You, Beth Cooper, Larry Doyle gives the coming-of-age novel a swirly.”
“Fresh, sweet, seriously funny.”
“…hilarious coming-of-age novel…”
“…this book is laugh-out-loud funny…”
“…this side-splitting novel of adolescence is a classic teen movie waiting to be made.”
One of the “best comedy books of the summer.”
“…the book is great... dark, absurdist, insanely funny send-up of a John Hughes movie…Buy it.”
“Doyle’s hilarious debut novel [moves] at a clip but never forgets that humor needs heart, too.” Grade: A
“Larry Doyle…gives a 21st-century gloss to this familiar tale… wickedly funny…”
