Half His Age
Book • 2026
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died comes Half His Age, a startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant rich character study of a yearning seventeen-year-old girl who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, desired, and loved.
Waldo is a ravenous, blunt, naïve yet wise, impulsive, and angry seventeen-year-old who desperately wants her creative writing teacher, Mr. Korgy, despite his wife, kid, and life circumstances.
McCurdy expertly captures the dichotomy of feeling mature at 17 while remaining young and naïve.
