Publisher's Summary

Things you earnestly believe will happen while your parents are away:

  • 1. You will remember to water the azaleas.
  • 2. You will take detailed, accurate messages.
  • 3. You will call your older brother, Denny, if even the slightest thing goes wrong.
  • 4. You and your best friend/bandmate, Lukas, will win Battle of the Bands.
  • 5. Amid the thrill of victory, Lukas will finally realize you are the girl of his dreams.

Things that actually happen:

  • 1. A stranger calls who says he knew your sister.
  • 2. He says he has her stuff.
  • 3. What stuff? Her stuff.
  • 4. You tell him your parents won't be able to -
  • 5. Sukey died five years ago; can't he -
  • 6. You pick up a pen.
  • 7. You scribble down the address.
  • 8. You get on your bike and go.
  • 9. Things...get a little crazy after that.*

*Also, you fall in love, but not with Lukas.

Both exhilarating and wrenching, Hilary T. Smith's debut novel captures the messy glory of being alive, as seventeen-year-old Kiri Byrd discovers love, loss, chaos, and murder woven into a summer of music, madness, piercing heartbreak, and intoxicating joy.
