<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Janesville, Wisconsin (cold in the sense that there is no God)1994 <p/> The best thing that's ever happened to Craig is also the worst: Amy. Amy and Craig never should've gotten together. Craig is an awkward Dungeons & Dragons-playing geek, and Amy is the beautiful, fiercely intelligent student-body president of their high school. <p/> Yet somehow they did until Amy dumped him. Then got back together with him. Then dumped him again. Then got back together with him again. Over and over and over. <p/> Unfolding during their senior year, Amy and Craig's exhilarating, tumultuous relationship is a kaleidoscope of joy, pain, and laughter as an uncertain future-and adult responsibility-loom on the horizon. <p/> Craig fights for his dream of escaping Janesville and finding his place at a quirky college, while Amy's quest to uncover her true self sometimes involves being Craig's girlfriend and sometimes doesn't. <p/> Seven heartbreaks. Seven joys. Told nonsequentially, acclaimed playwright Don Zolidis's debut novel is a brutally funny, bittersweet taste of the utterly unique and universal experience of first love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Accolades</b>Bustle: 11 Upcoming Romantic YA Novels That Might Just Be Your New Favorite Rom-Com, selection (2018)BookRiot: 125+ Upcoming YA Books You'll Want on Your October to December Radar, selection (2018)<br><br>"A charming, funny love story."--<b><i><i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></i><br><br>"Appealingly realistic...
