Notes
Description
Seventeen-year-old Marty Pierce leaves small-town Kentucky for London, hoping to explore his sexuality and find work playing oboe, but homesickness, anxiety, and his dwindling savings worsen even as his dreams are coming true.
Description
Marty arrives in London with nothing but his oboe and some savings from his summer job, but he's excited to start his new life. Here he is no longer the closeted, shy kid; he is free to explore his sexuality without his parents' disapproval. In the span of a few weeks he makes new friends, he's getting closer with his first ever boyfriend, and he's even traveling around Europe. But he hasn't talked to his parents back in Kentucky since he arrived, he's tearing through his meager savings, and he hasn't even come close to landing the job of his dreams. Will Marty be able to find a place that feels like home? -- adapted from jacket
