Description
Joel, a sus diecisiete años, comienza su trabajo en el videocentro ROYO. Es exactamente lo que le recetó el terapeuta: un nuevo comienzo. Después de pasar varios años entre doctores y hospitales psiquiátricos a causa de «el incidente», finalmente está listo para ser un chico normal. Ahora, con un nuevo nombre inspira do en su personaje favorito de La guerra de las galaxias, Solo está decidido a iniciar un nuevo capítulo con toda la actitud. Sin embargo, el miedo a que descubran «lo que estaba mal con él» lo lleva a mantener a raya a sus compañeros que intentan conocerlo mejor. Hasta que se encuentra con Nicole, más conocida como Baby, por la protagonista de Baile caliente, su sarcástica compañera, con quien inicia una amistad como en las películas. Cuando el pasado de Joel lo alcanza, se siente obligado a elegir entre conservar su hoja en blanco y contar toda la verdad. De cualquier manera, teme que la opción que elija termine la única amistad real que ha tenido. Ambientada en la década de 1990 y llena de referencias a la cultura pop, esta historia presenta temas desafiantes y necesarios en la actualidad con una mezcla perfecta de ingenio, sinceridad y ternura. Hay secretos que te llevarías a la tumba, hasta que llega la persona indicada para compartirlos.
Description
Joel's new job at the video store is just what the therapist ordered. But what happens if the first true friend he's made in years finds out about What Was Wrong With Him? Seventeen-year-old Joel Teague has a new prescription from his therapist--a part-time job--the first step toward the elusive Normal life he's been so desperate to live ever since The Bad Thing happened. Lucky for Joel, ROYO Video is hiring. It's the perfect fresh start--Joel even gets a new name. Dubbed "Solo" after his favorite Star Wars character, Joel works his way up the not-so-corporate ladder without anyone suspecting What Was Wrong With Him. That is, until he befriends Nicole "Baby" Palmer, a smart-mouthed coworker with a chip on her shoulder about ... well, everything, and the two quickly develop the kind of friendship movie montages are made of. However, when Joel's past inevitably catches up with him, he's forced to choose between preserving his new blank slate persona and coming clean--and either way, he risks losing the first real friend he's ever had. Set in a pop-culture-rich 1990s, this remarkable story tackles challenging and timely themes with huge doses of wit, power, and heart.
