Interview with Larry Doyle, author of I Love You, Beth Cooper

Welcome to episode 19 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

In this episode, we talk with Larry Doyle about his novel I Love You, Beth Cooper. It's a teen comedy that will resonate with anyone who's survived their teenage years.

High-school geek Denis Cooverman, in his valedictory speech to his graduating class, blurts out "I love you, Beth Cooper." Beth is the school's head cheerleader, who has only a vague idea of who Denis is. And, as the book jacket says, "complications ensue."

I Love You, Beth Cooper is available now at bookstores and online retailers.
