Prologue

When Rome ran away from her overprotective mother in Los Angeles after finishing high school, all she could afford was a one-way ticket to New Jersey, where she pretended to crash her older brother’s ex-best friend place.

Having no more than the gorgeous 26-year-old, look-alike-Kurt-Cobain cartoonist to keep an eye on her, Rome’s life begins to get way out of control while she makes new friends and bad choices that might drag the people she loves down with her.

What will it take for her to grow up and start thinking about her future? And just how late will it be when she realizes there’s something more to life than partying?
