Edvard is going to be fifteen soon and to his annoyance he is not yet the cool guy he would like to be: he has no hair on his chest, his voice is much too high-pitched and Constanze is not the least bit interested in him. To get to her, Edvard creates a fake social media profile pretending to be Jason from Chicago. What sounds like an ingenious plan at first soon begins to snowball into something much larger – with unexpected consequences ...
On his private blog, Edvard writes about everything that’s on his mind: about his uber-tolerant – and uber-embarrassing – parents. About consistently and with absolute accuracy stepping in the little landmines the neighbour’s dog leaves behind. And about Henk, of course – Edvard’s nemesis. When Karla joins his class and »Jason« develops a bizarre life of his own, Edvard’s life threatens to descend into total chaos.
