From the author of Somewhere in Hollywood comes a sharp, musically infused novel set against the backdrop of 2001. Lost on Long Island captures the raw friction of a quiet life unraveling, the heat of an unexpected connection, and the open road that changes everything.
Carla Bucchio is stuck in the restlessness of life after high school. Working at a photo printing shop, she watches everyone else move on while her own dreams remain just out of reach. That is, until a chance encounter with her former classmate Pete Albrecht-mysterious, stoner kid who marches to the beat of his own drum-sparks an unexpected way out.
Driven by a shared need to escape, they start a band that quickly becomes their entire world. What begins as loud amps, mixtapes and CD, and late nights in a basement turns into a cross-country road trip toward a future neither of them planned for. But as the miles rack up, Carla and Pete are forced to face a world changing before their eyes, the fraying ties back home, and the undeniable pull of a connection that goes far deeper than music.
Sharp, nostalgic, and deeply emotional, Lost on Long Island is a music-fueled burn about the sounds that define us, our complicated friendships, and the journeys that shape who we become.
