Dadโs an aging L.A. punk rocker known as the Rat. Daughterโs a buttoned-up neat freak whoโd rather be anywhere else. Can this summer be saved?
Now that sheโs exiled from Canada to sunny Los Angeles, Katy figures sheโll bury her nose in a book and ignore the fact that sheโs spending two weeks with her father โ punk name: the Rat โ a recovered addict and drummer for the famously infamous band Suck. Even though Katy doesnโt want to be there, even though she feels abandoned by her mom, even though the Ratโs place is a mess and heโs not like anything sheโd call a father, Katy wonโt make a fuss. After all, she is a nice girl, a girl who is quiet and polite, a girl who smiles, a girl who is, well, beige. Or is she? From the author of BOY PROOF and THE QUEEN OF COOL comes an edgy new L.A. novel full of humor, heart, and music.
