Dadβs an aging L.A. punk rocker known as the Rat. Daughterβs a buttoned-up neat freak whoβd rather be anywhere else. Can this summer be saved?
Now that sheβs exiled from Canada to sunny Los Angeles, Katy figures sheβll bury her nose in a book and ignore the fact that sheβs spending two weeks with her father β punk name: the Rat β a recovered addict and drummer for the famously infamous band Suck. Even though Katy doesnβt want to be there, even though she feels abandoned by her mom, even though the Ratβs place is a mess and heβs not like anything sheβd call a father, Katy wonβt 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.
