"When Nina decides to take a radio broadcasting class her senior year, she expects it to be a walk in the park. Instead, it's a complete disaster. The members of Nina's haphazardly formed radio team have approximately nothing in common. And to maximize the awkwardness her group includes Jamie, a childhood friend she'd hoped to basically avoid for the rest of her life. The show is a mess, internet rumors threaten to bring the wrath of two fandoms down on their heads, and to top it all off Nina's family is on the brink of some major upheaval. Everything feels like it's spiraling out of control--but maybe control is overrated?"--Amazon.

"It's 1996, senior year of high school has just begun, and Lester is at a total loss. His father recently abandoned the family, his mother is more than slightly distracted, and his younger sister, Grace, hides behind her black hoodie and heavy mascara. Lester should be studying and making plans for life after graduation, but instead his mind is on other things. For instance: A shaggy-haired first-year English teacher named Jeff, the rocky beaches of the Pacific Northwest, a petty tyrant with a pink tie who thinks he runs the school, postcards from his father (spoiler alert: they aren't very friendly), The Ramones, his friend Freesia (who's applied to 37 colleges), 'Paradise Lost' by John Milton, a man called 'Pancake' and a van called 'Bluey,' and a renegade yearbook"--Back cover.
