Description

Jandy Nelson's beloved, critically adored debut is soon to be an Apple TV+ Original Film starring Jason Segel, Cherry Jones, and Grace Kaufman.

"Both a profound meditation on loss and grieving and an exhilarating and very sexy romance." --NPR

Adrift after her sister Bailey's sudden death, Lennie finds herself torn between quiet, seductive Toby--Bailey's boyfriend who shares Lennie's grief--and Joe, the new boy in town who bursts with life and musical genius. Each offers Lennie something she desperately needs. One boy helps her remember. The other lets her forget. And she knows if the two of them collide, her whole world will explode.

As much a laugh-out-loud celebration of love as a nuanced and poignant portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her makes for an always honest, often uproarious, and absolutely unforgettable read.
