Quirky and crushing, Joy’s story is told in shifting flashbacks as she finds herself abandoned by the love of her life.

“Joy Afterclein is a girl who follows her heart into the Land of Conformity and comes out wiser on the other side.”—Natalie Standiford, author of How to Say Goodbye in Robot

“Emily Wing Smith understands obsession and the acute condition of the heart when broken, and when on the mend.”—Sara Zarr, author of Story of a Girl and Once Was Lost

Who Zan Is:
Blow-your-mind brilliant
Stop-your-heart gorgeous
Hold-your-breath clever

Who Zan Was:
Joy’s boyfriend

Why Joy Needs Him Back:
So she can breathe again.

What That Means:
An elaborate road trip involving a SAAB 900, Sprite, and Barry Manilow. Oh, and Noah, Zan’s irritating-but-almost-charming ex–best friend.

“This book has a road trip, prophetic dreams, answered prayers, Beverage Night, Happiness Week, Vegas, and best of all: a cute boy who speaks Esperanto and wears old man shoes. Irresistible! Joy Afterclein is a girl who follows her heart into the Land of Conformity and comes out wiser on the other side.”—Natalie Standiford, author of How to Say Goodbye in Robot and Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters

“Emily Wing Smith understands obsession and the acute condition of the heart when broken, and when on the mend. Also, she makes me laugh.”—Sara Zarr, author of Story of a Girl and Once was Lost
