There’s just one catch: she doesn’t want to go to college. But she has to, because her family is losing their Los Angeles home. Her father is a washed-up rock star with a shady past and zero work prospects, and her mother, once a world-renowned visual artist, is now irrelevant and flat broke. Undeterred, Lily runs away from school the morning that classes start, hitting the unwelcoming streets of Boston in the fall of 2016 with nothing but a backpack full of clothes, an eating disorder, a sore lack of hope for humanity, and the aching desire for a simple and pressure-free life. Is such a life even possible for her? Over the course of 48 delirious hours, Lily stumbles from Harvard to a hospital bed to an overwhelming burst of clarity that answers that question once and for all. 15.00 USD https://jaimeshy.bigcartel.com/product/i-want-to-be-a-nobody https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/386295039/novel+cover+first+edit.jpg 108071556 new in stock 99134020 It'll All Be Over Soon--Short Story Collection My debut short story collection! Strange reading for strange people. "First there’s Maddie, a shy teenage nobody who has a sexual awakening on drugs in a snowstorm in the 1990s. Then Miranda and Paul, child prodigies turned adult screw-ups, receive their estranged father’s will in the mail just as he becomes famous for his role in the 2008 financial crash. Next up, Gabriel, a nice Jewish boy with dreams of being a movie star, gets released from prison and moves back home, where the gang he joined on the inside puts his parents in an awkward position. And finally, there’s Cee, a disgruntled queer Starbucks barista and computer hacker who decides to get sweet revenge on their employer but totally alters the fate of humanity instead. Want to see how low these misfit toys can go? Then crack this little book open and follow them all the way to the bottom." 10.00 USD https://jaimeshy.bigcartel.com/product/it-ll-all-be-over-soon https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/361828834/IMG_20230527_0001+just+front.png 99134020 new in stock
