In this quirky comedy, Henry "Hen" Birnbaum is having a trying few months. His ex-girlfriend fires him from their band, he's trying to solve the mystery of why his college-grad sister disappeared for a year, and his only stability seems to be his best friend Emma. The premise becomes less than plausible, but the book is enjoyable to read nonetheless.
