My Boyfriend is a Bear
Author(s): Pamela Ribon
The delightful story of Nora who, after a succession of terrible boyfriends, finds a much happier relationship with a 500-pound American black bear.
"Funny and sweet. Your next book boyfriend gives great hugs." -–– Rainbow Rowell
"I never expected to write a book recommendation that said: I wish I had a boyfriend who was a bear. But now I do." –– JoJo Moyes
Bear meets girl.
Nora has bad luck with men. When she meets an (actual) bear on a hike in the Los Angeles hills, he turns out to be the best romantic partner she’s ever had! He’s considerate, he’s sweet, he takes care of her. But he’s a bear, and winning over her friends and family is difficult. Not to mention he has to hibernate all winter. Can true love conquer all?
Written by Pamela Ribon (SLAM!, Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet) and illustrated by Cat Farris (Emily and the Strangers).
Review(s):
"This book made me laugh and cry. Bittersweet, unsentimental and as honest as a book about a bear boyfriend can be."
"This resonant, absurdist modern fable is a joyful discovery."
"A sort of alt-Disney meets Jane Austen, this delightful confection showcases an unconventional relationship that will pull giggles and snuffles from romance lovers."
"MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR is an incredibly fun, flirtatious, and hilarious romance that I found myself uncontrollably laughing out loud "to! Farris and Ribon are amazing at comedic timing, and the art is just so delightful."
"If you don't know what to expect, let me tell you: Nora's boyfriend is a literal bear and their seemingly impossible relationship will make you squee with joy. A delightfully sweet read."
