Unlovable, Vol. 3

Summer vacation is here and Tammy Pierce is back with more sometimes ordinary, often humiliating, occasionally poignant and usually hilarious exploits! Her hopes, dreams, agonies and defeats are brought to vivid, comedic life by Watson's lovingly grotesque drawings, filled with all the '80s essentials ― too much mascara, leg warmers with heels and huge hair, etc. ― as well as timeless teen concerns like acne, dandruff, and the opposite sex (or same sex, in some cases). Unlovable addresses the mysteries of high school through Tammy's naivete; girls and women in particular will find much that resonates, but men will also relate to Unlovable's universal humor and loser cast of characters. Tammy's life isn't pretty, but it is endlessly endearing and funny.
