A young adult romantic comedy about a movie geek and the dream girl he refuses to fall in love with.

 

Sam Kinnison is a geek, and he's fine with that. He loves horror movies, hanging out with his nerdy friends and playing World of Warcraft - and until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, he doesn't have to worry about girls.



Then Sam meets Camilla. She's beautiful, friendly and completely irrelevant to his life. So Sam is determined to ignore her, except that Camilla has a life of her own - and she's decided he's going to be part of it ...



Boy meets girl. Boy tries to lose girl. Or does he?

 

Life in Outer Space is Melissa Keil's first brilliantly sweet and funny YA novel. It was the inaugural winner of the Ampersand Prize, Hardie Grant Children's Publishing award for debut authors. This special edition of the beloved #LoveOzYA rom-com includes a bonus new chapter!
