<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Adulting is hard. Just ask Wes Hudson. An avid comic book geek, Wes excels at two things: slacking off and pining after his best friend, Nico. Advice from his friends, '90s alt-rock songs, and online dating articles aren't helping much with his secret crush. And his dream job at Once Upon a Page, the local indie bookstore, is threatened when a coffee shop franchise wants to buy the property. To top it off, his family won't stop pestering him about picking a college major. When all three problems converge, Wes must face the one thing he's been avoiding--adulthood."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Adulting is hard.

If you're looking for an achingly relatable coming-of-age love story (with Empire Records vibes for days), look no further." --Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera, NY Times bestselling authors of <i>What If It's Us?</i><br><br>"VERDICT Hand this book to fans of realistic fiction looking for a quick, mostly light read that is full of heart.<b>"</b> --Mindy Rhiger, <i>School Library Journal</i><br><br>"This appealing book is hipper than hip (if it's still hip to say hip), replete with au courant words like dope, noob, rad, chill, and sick, and boasts-er, hella likable, no, make that lovable characters, who are complex and beautifully realized. Winters <i>(How to be Remy Cameron</i>, 2019) clearly covers his bases ethnically and sexually--Wes is Black and biracial and Nico is Mexican American, while other characters identify as lesbian, aroace, and bisexual--but believably and welcomingly so. The resulting combination of rom-com and coming-of-age novel is an absolute delight from beginning to end and is highly recommended." --Michael Cart, <i>Booklist</i><br><br>"Endearing...Wes's problems are lifelike, and he's surrounded by eccentric, supportive, and inspiring friends who challenge and encourage him." --Karen Rigby, <i>Foreword Reviews</i><br><br>"Winters does it again: a book about friendship, love, community, and the sometimes meandering path to adulthood, all in a great bear hug of a book that will keep your summer going." --L.C. Rosen, author of <i>Camp</i><br><br>I always smile my way through a Julian Winters book. Remy's story of self-discovery is empowering and lovely. --Adam Silvera, <i>NYT</i> bestselling author of <i>What If It's Us on How to Be Remy Cameron</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Julian Winters </b>is a best-selling and award-winning author of contemporary young adult fiction. His novels <i>Running With Lions</i> and <i>How to Be Remy Cameron</i> (Duet, 2018 and 2019 respectively), received accolades for their positive depictions of diverse, relatable characters.
