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.

On his private blog, Edvard writes about everything that’s on his mind: about his uber-tolerant – and uber-embarrassing – parents.
