YA
When high-school valedictorian Lance takes a road trip in his 1993 Buick, the car breaks down and he finds himself stuck in a seedy motel room in middle-of-nowhere Washington State. He meets Dakota--an intriguing young woman artist with a very different perspective--and begins to reevaluate his life. The sense of place is palpable and the dialogue often sparkles in Geiger's debut novel.
