Life echoes art in this sassy, heartwrenching coming-of-age story from the author of Imaginary Girls.
Its summer and Dani Callanzano has been abandoned by everyone she knows. Her dad moved out, her mom is all preoccupied being broken-hearted, and her closest friend just moved away. Basically its the end of the world.
At least she has the Little Art, her favorite local arthouse movie theater. Dani loves all the old black-and-white noir thrillers with their damsels in distress and their low camera angles. It also doesnt hurt that Jackson, the guy who works the projection reel, is super cute and nice and funny. And completely off-limits, of coursehes Danis friends boyfriend, and they are totally, utterly perfect together.
But one day, Dani stumbles across a shocking secret about Jacksona secret too terrible for her to keep. She finds herself caught in the middle of a love triangle with enough drama to rival the noir-est film noir shes ever seen.
