Why My Love Life Sucks — Shevi Arnold

Seventeen-year-old super tech geek Gilbert Garfinkle knew the future was going to be perfect, because he was going to invent it himself. He had it all planned. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future... Amber is the most beautiful girl he's ever met, way out of his league. He can't understand why she asks to go home with him, asks him to sit next to her on his vintage Star Wars sheets, and starts kissing him. Now once bitten and twice terrified out of his brilliant mind, Gilbert lies alone in his room in the dark, paralyzed, and pondering life's ultimate question: "Why me?" WHY MY LOVE LIFE SUCKS -- book one of THE LEGEND OF GILBERT THE FIXER -- is the humorous science-fiction novel that proves it takes the ultimate geek to be the ultimate hero.
