WINNER -- Third Place for Fiction 2013 Indie Reader Discovery AwardsFINALIST-- New Fiction 2013 National Indie Excellence AwardsFrom The Self-Publishing Review“ ….the title of this book had me expecting something very like a teen romance. While there is romance aplenty in this wonderful novel, Girls Love Travis Walker is far more than that….The book is well-written and well-edited. Pfeffer’s characters are nuanced and delightful. The story is nicely paced with a balance of tension and resolution that kept me turning pages. But what really makes this book lovely is harder to describe. Pfeffer shows enormous empathy and insight into the complications and humiliations of poverty and homelessness without ever seeming saccharine or preachy…. I predict you will be hearing more about this talented new author. “http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/blog/2013/05/review-girls-love-travis-walker-by-anne-pfeffer/To nineteen-year-old high school dropout Travis Walker, women are like snowflakes--each one different, but beautiful in her own way.He can charm any girl he meets, and yet down deep he fears he'll always be a loser like his jailbird father.
