From the Sunday Times bestselling author of I?m Glad My Mom Died comes a bold, funny, and darkly poignant novel about sex, class, desire, and the lengths we go to for what we want.
Seventeen-year-old Waldo is hungry for attention, understanding, and connection?and she wants it most from Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher. He?s older, settled, and weighed down by responsibilities, yet Waldo is drawn to him in ways she can?t fully understand.
Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and heartbreakingly human, Half His Age explores the desires and frustrations of adolescence, the power dynamics between youth and adulthood, and the messy pursuit of being truly seen, desired, and loved.
