Grigory Babochkin and German Sto... no, German Babochkin and Grigory Stolyarov. Two completely different teenagers. One dreams of becoming a hockey player, strides toward this goal by leaps and bounds, and becomes everyone's favorite along the way. The other is a target of universal mockery, yet he seems… fearless? reckless?
Two opposites come together, discovering in each other something they themselves are lacking. It seems that this Real Masculine Friendship will help both of them cope with anything: with competition anxiety; with family difficulties and misunderstanding from loved ones; with bullying and ridicule. And that is true – but only until first love enters the picture. Until an unfamiliar feeling triggers a clockwork mechanism – one that will detonate a time bomb at the most unexpected moment…
Anna Zenkova's new novel is a text of astonishing power, revealing the personalities of the 14-year-old protagonists in all their contradiction and in everything that teenagers have in common. Structured as two audio diaries that Grigory and German keep throughout the school year, the book will resonate with everyone – teenager or adult.
