By the end of sophomore year  Al is so tired of humiliation that hes chosen to just forget girls and high school society in general  and enjoy the Zen-like detachment that comes from being an intentional loser.  Then he meets Mia Stone  and all the repressed hormones come flooding back. Mia  his co-worker at the Bern Inn  is adorable  popular  and most intimidatingly  the ex- long-term girlfriend of Ivy-bound  muscle-bound king of BHS and world class jerk  Ryan Stackhouse. But -- chalk it up to the magic of Als inner beauty -- by the end of a summer vacuuming hotel rooms and goofing off together  he and Mia are officially something.  Albert barely has time to ponder this miracle before the bomb drops: Ryan has been diagnosed with cancer  and he needs Mias support  i.e. constant companionship. True  hes lost weight and hes getting radiation  but that doesnt make him any less of a jerk. And to Albert  it couldnt be more apparent that Ryan is using his cancer to steal Mia back. With the whole town rallying behind Ryan like hes a fallen hero  and Mia emotionally confused and worried for Ryan  Als bid for love is not a popular campaign. In fact  its exactly like driving the wrong way on a five-lane highway. In this desperately funny novel  David Yoo tells an authentic story of first love  and therein captures the agony  the mania  the kicking and screaming that define teenage existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923892731957,"sku":"ByrdShop_1423109074","price":64.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781423109075.jpg?v=1794118232","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stop-me-if-youve-heard-this-one-before-9781423109075","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
