Just when 17-year-old Matt considers he can't deal with one more piece of terrible reports, he meets a girl who's handled much more - and who might just be able to hint him in how to go up up when life continues knocking him down - in this wry, gritty novel from the writer of WHENEVER I Was the Greatest. Matt wears a dark suit every day. No, not because his mom passed away - although she does, and it sucks. But he wears the suit for his gig at the neighborhood funeral home, which compensates way much better than the Cluck Bucket, and he needs the income since his father can't deal with the expenses (or anything, really) by himself. So while Dad's snagging containers of whiskey, Matt's snagging fifteen cash an hour. Not bad. But everything else? Not good. Then Matt fits Lovey. She's got a crazy name, and she's experienced more crazy than he can imagine. Yet Lovey never cries. She's difficult. Really tough. Tough in the way Matt would like he could be. Which is maybe why he's attracted to her, and definitely why he can't seem to shake her. Because there is nothing more hopeful than finding a person who recognizes your loneliness - and who is able to maybe even help take it away.
