{"product_id":"lemon-wendy-kubacki-9798218732707","title":"Lemon: A Memoir","description":"Steve is a nerdy bookworm raised by laid-back Catholic parents who give him a quirky, and incomplete, education about girls. \"It's like the birds and the bees,\" they tell him, but the details are fuzzy and mostly confusing. Coupled with some unsettling early childhood experiences, Steve comes to an unfortunate conclusion: when it comes to girls, he doesn't stand a chance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy the end of junior high, Steve stumbles across his mom's sex education book - meant for her rhythm method class - and shares it with his buddy, Coby. The two boys learn more than they bargained for, not only the basics, but also some eye-opening lessons on alternative lifestyles. Despite having only kissed other boys, and never a girl, Steve realizes he's probably heterosexual. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter this revelation, Steve struggles with a shifting sense of identity. Feeling frustrated and betrayed, he lashes out at his domineering friend Coby, and begins a downward spiral. He slowly morphs into what his father has always called him - a little shit-ass kid. Driven by impulse, and a growing list of bad habits, Steve finds creative ways to keep his pockets full; and by watching an older friend skillfully work his charm with a young lady at a party, he begins to understand what it takes to get a girl's attention. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLemon\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal confession, told with raw and uncomfortable honesty, in which Kubacki reflects on his past, recounting a mix of joyful, vibrant, and somber stories from his formative years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Kubacki,Stephen Kubacki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218732707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Kubacki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Wendy Kubacki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001908666623,"sku":"9798218732707","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lemon-wendy-kubacki-9798218732707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
