Lexi did not want to move and nothing is going to make her happy about it. Except maybe that cute guy on the bus. It's 1983 and Lexi has more than gotten over her parent's divorce. Having to move to New Jersey, however, is simply unacceptable. Lexi plans to go back to Brooklyn and stay with her dad, every weekend, whether her mom likes it or not. How else is Lexi going to see her friends? She never imagined she’d change her mind. But then she saw Jack. Jack knows he was born to share his music, and his voice, with the world. His parents and teachers don’t see it that way. And it’s not just them. Everyone in town it seems, knows Jack as the one who doesn’t measure up, to his brother’s perfect academic record, that is. Then he sees the new girl on the bus and realizes she doesn’t know anything about that. And maybe, just maybe, when she finds out, she won’t care. Jack and Lexi quickly become a couple. Then they become a team. Determined to make a life for themselves, on their own terms, they’ll do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true.

“Suzanne Scanlon enters the inverted space of grief and near-madness with courage, intelligence, and wit—and with a small, sharp light for us to follow.” —Dawn Raffel A series of fragmentary tales tells the story of Lizzie, a young woman who, in her early twenties, unexpectedly embarks on a journey through psychiatric institutions, a journey that will end up lasting many years. With echoes of Sylvia Plath, and against a cultural backdrop that includes Shakespeare, Woody Allen, and Heathers, Suzanne Scanlon’s first novel is both a deeply moving account of a life of crisis and a brilliantly original work of art.
