Publisher's Summary:
Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Looking for Alaska, The Tragedy Paper has been called a beguiling and beautifully written tale of first love and heartbreak, by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner.
It follows the story of Tim Macbeth, a seventeen-year-old albino and a recent transfer to the prestigious Irving School, where the motto is Enter here to be and find a friend. A friend is the last thing Tim expects or wants - he just hopes to get through his senior year unnoticed. Yet, despite his efforts to blend into the background, he finds himself falling for the quintessential It girl, Vanessa Sheller, girlfriend of Irvings most popular boy. To Tim's surprise, Vanessa is into him, too, but she can kiss her social status goodbye if anyone ever finds out. Tim and Vanessa begin a clandestine romance, but looming over them is the Tragedy Paper, Irvings version of a senior year thesis, assigned by the schools least forgiving teacher.
Jumping between viewpoints of the love-struck Tim and Duncan, a current senior about to uncover the truth of Tim and Vanessa, The Tragedy Paper is a compelling tale of forbidden love and the lengths people will go to keep their secrets.
Critic Reviews:
Starred Review,
, November 15, 2012:
Debut novelist LaBan takes us into the private school culture as well as the heads of two charming yet very different teenage boys and their parallel love stories Nonexistent parents, well-intentioned, likeable faculty on the periphery, elaborate dorm rooms with overstuffed closets, even the romantic, snow-covered campus all contribute to a setting that adds to the storys heft and intrigue.
