Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The hilarious first novel from former "Simpsons" writer, Larry Doyle. Denis is a nerd in love and the object of his affection is Beth Cooper, a beautiful cheerleader. However, when Denis stands up in front of his high school graduating class and declares his undying love, he develops bigger problems, not least that Beth has no idea who he is. 'Feels like an instant classic, right up there with end-of-school landmarks like "Dazed And Confused"' Tom Perrotta. Winner of the 2008 James Thurber Prize for Humour and due to be made into a film starring Hayden Panettiere.

Publisher's description:

Denis Cooverman wanted to say something really important in his high school graduation speech. So, in front of his 512 classmates and their 3,000 relatives, he announced: 'I love you, Beth Cooper.' It should have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is.
