Are you a fan of clever wordplays, Mérimée's "Carmen", Poe's "Annabel Lee", and ROAD TRIPS? Then this might be the book for you!
This book features:
an unreliable narrator
a dark-haired, brooding protagonist
an in-universe foreword
(implied?) lesbian side characters
lush descriptions of the great American landscape
allusions to postwar American culture
witty references to literary and historical figures
puns, many puns!
There Is Only One Bed™ (probably not the best occurrence of the trope, but eh)
Deaf/HoH side character
Amputee side character
Single parent MC (though he's definitely not an ideal one)
Parent-child conflict(s)
Runaway plot
uh yeah that's all the tropes that I can think about regarding this book without spoiling it too much

Drama featuring friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, lovers to friends, strong independent businesswomen, men who aren't afraid to express their emotions, girlbosses, a where are they now future, and the power of friendship. Also includes a queer-coded and canonically queer main and extended cast!
