O. M. G.

Opis

In the youth novel O.M.G. by author Cvetka Bevc, the characters from her other novel The Ten (nominated for the Večernica and Desetnica awards) appear once more. The problems with growing up continue, this time they are connected to the first encounters with sexuality.
The events in the story take place in the luxury of spring – with love in the air, as well as plenty of questions. How to make an appointment with the gynecologist, how to hide contraceptive pills from your mother, how to stop your father’s lecture on condoms and, most of all, how to act when that thing that teens find so hard to talk about happens
for the first time. Just acting cool isn’t an option. Honesty all the way! Taking centre stage is the story of the members of the newly formed band O.M.G. – Oxy, Maggie and Griffin, members of The Ten who were getting ready for their first gig. While at the same time, they were all in the midst of their own romantic mess. The others of The Ten try to help them, but it only makes things worse. The ending is unexpected and the individual episodes are amusing. At the end of the book is also the Guide to the First Time.
