Destiny takes a detour in this wickedly witty and offbeat novel Kirkus Reviews, starred review that was nominated for the National Book Award. Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. Its how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince himself that hes a real boy and not just a character in his fathers bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him his best friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl hes ever loved. Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.
