"She doesn't need me. She doesn't need anybody. I am the one with needs. Beyond Junie Blue, I need...something." Oliver has been dumped, but he's not giving up. Especially considering that his (ex)girlfriend may be holding a winning lottery ticket, and the local organized-crime lord may be expecting a cut. This is a complex--slightly manic--and character-driven coming-of-age novel.
