Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A funny, tender, messy, and authentic story about two teens who fall in love on the precipice of things falling apart. Vinnie Smith has her future mapped. She and her best friend, Lilah, have been busy manifesting post-graduation lives in NYC. Making plans helps Vinnie avoid thinking about l…osing her mum to multiple sclerosis, and other problems weighing on her mind. Meanwhile, Roo Carpenter, Vinnie's longtime childhood friend, is struggling day-to-day, never mind plans for tomorrow. He's dropped out of high school under the guise of studying photography, when the truth is he's working a dodgy job to help his mum make ends meet. When Vinnie's carefully laid plans begin to unravel, she decides to fix Roo's problems instead of her own, care of a road trip across inland Australia in her mum's old Kombi. But what Vinnie and Roo don't count on is how close to the surface Vinnie's grief over her mum is, or how her worsening headaches have a worrying familiarity. Plus, they're having these embarrassing, absolutely-not-friend-appropriate feelings for one another . . . ones that could completely ruin their friendship if the other finds out.A Guide to Falling Off the Map is a tender and insightful YA novel about two teens who fall together on the precipice of things falling apart.
