"A wonderfully witty love letter to stand-up comedy, true love, and there being no place like home.ā āGeorgia Clark, author of It Had to Be You
Then. Delfina Silva-Miller wants one thing: to leave behind Evergreen, New Jersey and never look back. Despite her adoring grandmotherās best efforts, Del canāt bear to live another moment at the whims of her deadbeat dad (so clichĆ©) and her ever-temperamental crush, Eddie Rodriguez (humiliating).Ā
Now. If thereās one thing Del knows how to do, itās spin her bad luck into a killer joke. After years of hard work, sheās finally landed a coveted spot at a huge comedy festival, molding the often tragic raw material of her life into comedic gold. But when Del loses her job, boyfriend, and apartment in the span of a few hours, sheās forced to pack her bags and return to the home she swore off at eighteen.
Del is determined not to let her history with Evergreen distract her. She has 45 days to perfect a new comedy set and march into her new life. Instead, she marches right into Eddie Rodriguez. But heās nothing like the boy she left behind ten years ago.
As the festival draws closer, Del is faced with the terrifying possibility that everything sheās ever wanted isnāt as far away as it once seemed.Ā Ā
