About this listen
The best-selling author of Mosquitoland brings us another batch of unforgettable characters in this tragicomedy about first love and devastating loss.
Victor Benucci and Madeline Falco have a story to tell.
It begins with the death of Vic's father.
It ends with the murder of Mad's uncle.
The Hackensack Police Department would very much like to hear it.
But in order to tell their story, Vic and Mad must focus on all the chapters in between.
This is a story about:
- A coded mission to scatter ashes across New Jersey.
- The momentous nature of the Palisades in winter.
- One dormant submarine.
- Two songs about flowers.
- Being cool in the traditional sense.
- Sunsets & ice cream & orchards & graveyards.
- Simultaneous extreme opposites.
- A narrow escape from a war-torn country.
- A story collector.
- How to listen to someone who does not talk.
- Falling in love with a painting.
- Falling in love with a song.
- Falling in love.

"Arnold’s funny and touching second novel is about many things: making peace with the past; the families we create; abstract painting; and what it means to be a 'genuine heart-thinker'.... Arnold has a talent for stringing together words in just the right, jumbled order. His sentences are arrows." (The New York Times Book Review)
"[In] David Arnold’s follow-up to last year’s wonderful Mosquitoland...Arnold continues to show mastery in crafting relatable teens struggling with dark circumstances.... They’re a highly enjoyable bunch of outsiders.” (USA Today)
"Funny, sweet, utterly heart-wrenching." (Entertainment Weekly)
