The hilarious first novel from Simpson writer Larry Doyle.For a straight A student, Denis still has a lot to learn . . . Denis Cooverman wants to say something really important in his high school graduation speech. So, in front of his 512 classmates and their 3,000 relatives, he announces: 'I love you, Beth Cooper.'It should have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the school's head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so not in her league that he is barely even of the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, who's in town on leave from the US Army . . .
