From the award-winning author of Five, Six, Seven, Nate! and Better Nate Than Ever comes "a Holden Caulfield for a new generation" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Quinn Roberts is a sixteen-year-old smart aleck and Hollywood hopeful whose only worry used to be writing convincing dialogue for the movies he made with his sister Annabeth. Of course, that was all beforebefore Quinn stopped going to school, before his mom started sleeping on the sofaand before the car accident that changed everything.

Enter: Geoff, Quinn's best friend who insists it's time that Quinn came outat least from hibernation. One haircut later, Geoff drags Quinn to his first college party, where instead of nursing his pain, he meets a guyokay, a hot guyand falls, hard. What follows is an upside-down week in which Quinn begins imagining his future as a screenplay that might actually have a happily-ever-after endingif, that is, he can finally step back into the starring role of his own life story.
