‘One of the most beautiful and brutal and brilliant portrayals of teenage girlhood I have ever read’ Florence Welch, Florence +The Machine

She’s a young girl who’s smart and worldly-wise, and thinks she knows what she wants.

He’s an older man – old enough, in fact, to be her father.

But he’s not.

As the pair drive aimlessly across middle America, they form an unlikely alliance – but they both know it can’t last for ever.
