K. Choi, this stunning coming-of-age novel from Printz Honor author Mary McCoy follows a Memphis teen whose quest to uncover the secrets of love reveals new truths about herself.</b> <p/>For the past two years, Lee has been laser-focused on two things: her job as a sound tech at a local coffee shop and her podcast <i>Artists in Love</i>, which she cohosts with her boyfriend Vincent. <p/>Until he breaks up with her on the air right after graduation. <p/>When their unexpected split, the loss of her job, and her parent's announcement that they're separating coincide, Lee's plans, her art, and her life are thrown into turmoil. Searching for a new purpose, Lee recruits her old friend Max and new friend Risa to produce a podcast called <i>Objects of Destruction</i>, where they investigate whether love actually exists at all. <p/>But the deeper they get into the love stories around them, the more Lee realizes that she's the one who's been holding love at arm's length. And when she starts to fall for Risa, she finds she'll have to be more honest with herself and the people in her life to create a new love story of her own. <p/>Funny, romantic, and heartfelt, this is a story about secrets, lies, friendship, found family, an expired passport, a hidden VHS tape, fried pickles, the weird and wild city of Memphis, and, most of all, love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A moving and masterfully drawn love letter to art, found family, and all of the messy but always wonderful shades of love, filled with as much soul as the city of its setting."--Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King<br><br>"Beautifully messy and real.
