Summary from Goodreads:
My wish
is to
fall
fall
cranium over Converse
in dizzy, daydream-worthy
love.
(If only it were that easy.)
When her parents split, Marcie is
dragged from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. She leaves behind
her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her
emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father. By the time Labor Day rolls around,
Marcie suspects this "vacation" has become permanent. She starts at a
new school where a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up.
But understanding love, especially
when you've watched your parents' affections end, is elusive. What does it feel
like, really? Can you even know it until you've lost it?
