Summary: Heart's Delight -- I'm Not Creative
Review: Heart's delight is the name of a plant. It's also called Lemon Balm, and it gives off a faint hint of-- you guessed it-- lemon. It is also the nickname the young man in this book gives to the girl who he thinks is the love of his life. Ever since the young man first saw her he has been in love, but now he only wants to get her out of his mind. To do this, however, he must first destroy every bit of her she has left in his life.
"Heart's Delight" is a story about love and falling out of love. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to feel really sad. This is not the sort of book that will leave you satisfied with the world.

Summary: This book was amazing!
Review: I love the way Per Nilsson writes - he doesn't use any extra words. I really felt like I could understand what the main character was thinking (and let's be honest, sometimes it's hard to undertand what guys are thinking). I totally cracked up when he was in the store trying to buy condoms but was too embarassed. And I *wish* my first time had been like that!

I'm still wondering if Ann-Katrin gets pregnant. The way Nilsson writes it, you really can't tell. Every time I'm convinced she got pregnant I think about it again and I'm sure she didn't. That's really the best thing about his writing - he doesn't tell you what to think. It's the same thing with the phone call he gets. Is it his mom or is it Ann-Katrin?

This is one of the best books I've read. I definitely recommend it. And I really want to know if you think she got pregnant!!!

Summary: Real love: heartbreak, despair...and a glimmer of hope
Review: If someone made a movie about your first relationship, what would the movie be like? The 16-year-old narrator of Heart's Delight keeps replaying all the scenes from his relationship over and over in his head, even the scenes he wishes he could edit out. "This is no gushy, sentimental happy teenage love
story. Or some trashy romantic B-movie," he tells the reader. And, boy, is he right about that!

For anyone who's first experience with True Love didn't work out quite the way they expected, this is a heartwarming and at the same time chilling read. No wonder it's won so many awards in Europe!

Summary: a true heart breaker
Review: This was such a wonderful book, with a twist, being told from the end, as the main guy takes us back to the beginning of a doomed relationship with a girl he meets on the bus and all the way through. Buy it now, you'll thank us later.
