Two teens. A rock in the woods. And Chop Suey. Fifteen-year-old Nathan Green is homeschooled and restless, pedaling through the woods in search of something, anything, to give his summer meaning. Then he finds Alex, who pulls Nathan into her world- vibrant, chaotic, hurt. Their friendship saves Nathan’s summer, but can it save Alex’s life? Alex Was Here faithfully chronicles the nostalgia of teenage years in the early 2000’s and the sort of friendship that never gives up.
