Every great romance begins with Yuck, a Love Story. Austin's life is perfect until Amy moves in next door. He doesn't understand why a girl has to live beside him, or why girls have to live anywhere for that matter. Despite having no use for Amy, Austin seems to be strangely affected by every comment she makes and everything about her - right down to the bows on her shoes.
Yuck, a Love Story will touch the heart of anyone who has survived that earth-shattering first crush, and is written with the wit and wisdom of one who has been to the moon and back. Marie-Louise Gay's charming illustrations express a youthful innocence that matches the text perfectly.
Don Gillmor is a wonderful writer whose books are possessed of charm and humor, Marie-Louise Gay is a brilliant illustrator whose drawings are possessed of similarly enchanting qualities, and Yuck a Love Story is a terrific example of their extraordinary combined talent.
- University of Toronto, Review
