Manifesto of Love Looking for love. (The Manifesto of Love Book 2)

To find answers, Seth decides to start an anonymous podcast called The Love Manifesto , exploring "what love is, why love is, and why we're stupid enough to keep going back for more. With their help, Seth tracks down his father's mystery date, hits the most infamous bogey in the history of golf, and discovers that sometimes love means eating the worst chicken-salad sandwich you can ever imagine. Gr 9 Up—Poor Seth Baumgartner: The year-old has a lot to process over the summer.

Along with humorous conversations and soul-searching with his relatively clueless friend Dimitri, he pours out his feelings about love on the Internet. Seth has typical teen interests music, cleavage, hanging out but is overwhelmed by the thought that his father is having an affair, and finding out more about the woman becomes a fixation. More trouble arises when Seth's podcasts, full of snarky comments, are discovered by people who consider him a friend and he struggles to make amends.

How to get a copy

Seth and Dimitri are avid golfers with summer jobs in a country club pro shop. A stroke-by-stroke description of an important tournament deliciously draws out the tension in the last chapters, and the revelation of a secret results in a positive ending and the indication that Seth is maturing. Those who enjoy computers and music will appreciate the details of creating and uploading the podcasts, although the pop-culture references will date this book in a few years.

In rapid-fire succession, Seth gets dumped by his girlfriend, Veronica; spots his dad cozying up to a woman who most certainly isn't his mom; and gets canned from his fourth summer job. He pours his heart out in a series of anonymous podcasts he calls The Love Manifesto, which, naturally, don't stay anonymous for long.

Chapters oscillate between heartbroken musings; idle time on the golf course with his snarky best friend, Dimitri; and some light detective work tracking his dad's side woman. At the same time, Dimitri's gangly younger sister suddenly isn't so awkward, and Seth eventually realizes that there's a difference between relationships of convenience and those of genuine feeling. It's a fairly white-bread read, but Luper earns some marks for likable characters who arrive naturally though sometimes painfully at universalities that will ring true for many teens.

The shelf life of some of the pop-culture references will be fairly short, but for now, this is entertaining summer reading with heart and soul worn proudly on its sleeve.

My son teenage son enjoyed this book.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped, but it wasn't bad. It's about Seth, who is having a hard time. He's a boring guy on his own, but his girlfriend just broke up with him, and he's been seeing his father around town with a woman that is not his mother, and he's had a couple of fights with his best friend, Dimitri.
