Sixteen-year-old homeschooled girls Stevie and Sanger help Max complete his list of "23 Ways to Fake My Death Without Dying" before summer starts in Austin, Texas. Witty, John Green–like banter, as well as Ormsbee's candid look at the diversity of homeschooling and her ability to break down stereotypes, allow this story to rise above the well-worn last-summer-together plot.
