About this audiobook

This coming-of-age story examines the wonder of finding someone who finally sees you, the pain of depression, and the beautiful, horrible, astonishing, tragic truth of the past, present, and future.

“[An] impressive debut . . . John Green fans will gobble this one up.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A [young adult] triple threat . . . genuine, believable, and relatable.”—Hello Giggles

So begins their junior year of green cows, epiphany-filled minivan rides, and first love. For once, Ray is more excited about the present than the past.

But here’s the thing about the present: You just don’t know what’s coming.
