She was always the wild one, never afraid to be the first one to dive in, quick in her decisions. Elliot befriended Marceline in kindergarten and ever since he's been in her shadow. She's loud, he's quiet, she's daring, he plays it safe.
The day after graduation, Marceline decides she wants to just start driving and never come back, and Elliot, for some reason he can't quite comprehend, decides to follow. But soon their adventure gets deep; it's time to face the adulthood straight ahead, and some are more willing to face it than others. Divided into two-parts, this novel tells the story of two eighteen-year-olds who ran away in order to find themselves, and, in some odd, twisted up way, find love, too.
Follow the journey of a 17 year-old girl navigating the waters of adulthood as she shares her experiences with love, loss, heartbreak, laughter, happiness, and struggle over the course of three years. The transition between high school to college is never easy, but it's a lot easier knowing that someone is going through the same thing as you. As the moral of this story goes, never judge a book by its cover. We never know what someone else is going through, and even though we don't like to admit it, a lot of us are the same deep down.
