From beloved bestselling author Libba Bray, a story of love, rock n’ roll, and sex (in that order) in 1980s Texas.

Bowie is a little bit lost in his small Texas town. As he starts his senior year, the only thing he’s pretty sure of is that he has a crush on Comet Jensen, a girl who’s such a firecracker that she actually sets off a firecracker on the first day of school.

Since Comet is one wrong move away from getting expelled, Bowie steps in and takes the blame for the stunt. His punishment? Community service at a local radio station run by an anti-social, antiestablishment anti-hero named Marlon. Suddenly, Bowie finds he not only has something to do, but he also has something to say. And, possibly, a future with Comet.

In the tradition of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Eleanor & Park, and any other book or movie that’s nailed what it’s like to be lost and then found when you’re in high school, this is a funny, touching story about how growing up, like love, is never a solo project.
