Julie and Me : Treble Trouble

by Alan Gibbons

Published 1 February 2002
It's tough for a Man U supporter when the girl of his dreams comes from a Liverpool-crazy family with three brothers. Especially when Liverpool has just won the match. In the sequel to JULIE AND ME ...AND MICHAEL OWEN MAKES THREE, Terry tries to get through while his Mum and Dad move on to separate lives, and his oldest friend turns away from him. He gets back together with Julie - but he has to learn that you never get 'closure': there's always another football season and always the next chapter in a relationship, but meanwhile things with Julie are enough to be going on with. This is Terry's diary - lighthearted, fast-paced, up to the minute and totally believable.

Cover of Julie and Me and Michael Owen makes Three

For Terry Payne, life is not much fun. His parents are splitting up, and he's fallen desperately in love with the gorgeous new girl at school, who doesn't even know he exists. To top it all off, his beloved football team - the mighty Man U - are on a losing streak.

As Terry sees Man U lose to Liverpool, watches in horror as arch-rival and school golden boy showers the beautiful Julie with attention, and discovers the object of his affections is ... a Liverpool fan, he starts to think that things can't get much worse.

After all, it's a close contest in Life versus Football - and there can only be one winner. Can't there?

Hilarious and heart-warming, this is a touching story about the ups and downs of life, love, and more importantly, football, from award-winning author, Alan Gibbons.
