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 before--before Quinn stopped going to school, before his mom started sleeping on the sofa...and before the car accident that changed everything.

Enter: Geoff, Quinn's best friend who insists it's time that Quinn came out--at least from hibernation. One haircut later, Geoff drags Quinn to his first college party, where instead of nursing his pain, he meets a guy--okay, a hot guy--and 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 ending--if, that is, he can finally step back into the starring role of his own life story.

Tim Federle is the showrunner and executive producer of <i>High School Musical: the Musical: the Series</i>, which he created for Disney+. His novels include the <i>New York Times</i> Notable Book <i>Better Nate Than Ever</i> and its Lambda Literature Award-winning sequel--which Lin-Manuel Miranda called "a wonderful evocation of what it's like to be a theater kid" (<i>New York Times</i>). A film adaptation of <i>Nate</i>, written and directed by Federle, will premiere on Disney+ in spring 2022. The film stars Aria Brooks, Joshua Bassett, Lisa Kudrow, and Rueby Wood as Nate. Tim's hit series of cocktail recipe books, including <i>Tequila Mockingbird</i>, have sold over half a million copies worldwide. He cowrote the Broadway musical adaptation of <i>Tuck Everlasting</i>and won the Humanitas Prize for cowriting the Golden Globe and Academy Award-nominated Best Animated Feature <i>Ferdinand</i>, starring John Cena and Kate McKinnon. A former Broadway dancer, Tim was born in San Francisco, grew up in Pittsburgh, and now divides his time between Los Angeles and the internet.<br><br><br><i>This title is only available via back order</i><br>
