A proposito di questo titolo
Lauren Myracle brings her signature frank, funny, and insightful writing to this novel of a teenage boy’s coming-of-age.
Paul Walden is not an alpha lobster, the king lobster who intimidates the other male lobsters, gets all the lady lobsters, and wins at life. At least not according to anyone in his freshman seminar. But Paul has found a funny, faithful friend in Roby Smalls and, just maybe, caught the interest of smart, beautiful Natalia Guitierrez. Life as a sharply dressed beta lobster seems just fine, but in the tricky currents of high school, its pretty easy to get pulled too deep.
With perfect frankness, Lauren Myracle explores the point of view of a middle-class white kid as he navigates friendship, love, loss, addiction, and recovery. It's life at its most ordinary and most unforgettable.

"[Will] Ropp’s youthful voice captures this character perfectly. Ropp expertly executes Paul’s slight southern accent, his willful feelings, and feelings of regret. He moves the tone of the story seamlessly from joy to despair and to hopefulness.… Myracle and Ropp together weave a tale of lessons to learn, the reality of drugs, and the strength of family." —Booklist
