You want to disappear from society; you want to erase yourself. When your mediocre life in Bondi forces you to contemplate your own insignificance, escaping seems like the perfect fix - especially when your past isn't even worth remembering. But after travelling from paradise to paradise, stealing things that aren't yours and rejecting things that are, you come to realize that no one can hide from ghosts, not even you. You hate yourself. You will also come to find that you love yourself. It is merely a matter of accepting your roots.
Written entirely in second person, a nineteen-year-old girl, 'You, ' loses her job, robs her friend, ditches her ex-boyfriend, and on a whim, catches a flight to New York City. She's a thief haunted by ghosts. No matter where she goes, the past chases after her - until she learns to accept herself. In this cyclical voyage common to teens everywhere, filled with death, tears, and haircuts, love becomes something so foreign, yet so familiar, that it's hard - yet not impossible - to grasp.
