When sixteen-year-old Nia and her mom visit her grandmother in California, they thought her juvenile escapist days were over. But when her family’s lifestyle in San Francisco becomes not only dull, but offensive—and Nia meets an intriguing young troubadour named Jesse—things quickly change. Inspiration from Holden Caulfield and news that her elderly friend, Kurt, is dying hundreds of miles away only makes her rebellious road trip more urgent. What lengths will Nia go to as she struggles with doing what she’s told is right, versus doing what feels right? Nia’s coming-of-age adventure speeds through the cultural quirks of California in this daring sequel to THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS.
