Signed, Hopelessly in Love. Lauri Kubuitsile

Signed, Hopelessly in Love hits all the core notes for a great read: it is set in high school, with entertaining main characters and incidents, there is the great love story of Amo and John, and the interfering parent in Granma, not to mention school bitchiness in the attack on Amo’s best friend, Nono, on the athletics track. A wonderfully original and humorous story.Signed, Hopelessly In Love was a finalist in the 2009 Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature.
