Aaron Stein feels like a dinosaur carrying out his life after the asteroid has hit. Over the past year and a half, his brother died from an overdose, his mother took off, and Aaron himself has given up his dreams of college to stay in a crumbling small-town bookstore with his dad. When Aaron sees the opportunity to sell the bookstore and get out, he jumps at it. But he didn't account for Chad, a 'best life' bro with a wheelchair and way too much optimism... 14+ Sarah Dessen meets Nick Hornby.
