From the moment 15 - year - old Amelia gets an after - school job at the local supermarket she is sunk, gone, lost, head - over - heels in love with Chris. Chris is the funny, charming, man - about - Woolies - but he's 21 and in his final year at uni. The six - year age gap may as well be a hundred. Chris and Amelia talk about everything from Second Wave Feminism to Great Expectations and Alien, but will he ever look at her in the way she wants him to? A story that's real and warm and just a little bit heartbreaking.
