Wholesale Leaving the Station : Jake Maia Arlow

• Jake Maia Arlow • Hardcover • Young Adult Fiction/Romance / LGBTQ+ Zoe’s life has gone off the rails. When she left Seattle to go to college in New York, she was determined to start fresh, to figure out what being a lesbian meant to her, to experiment. Instead, she lost touch with her freshman orientation friend group, skipped classes, and failed completely at being the studious premed student her parents wanted her to be. But the biggest derailment of all? Her newly minted ex-boyfriend—and the fact that she had a boyfriend to begin with. When she met Alden, he made her feel wanted, he made her feel free. Zoe decides a second fresh start is in order: she’s going to take a cross-country train from New York to Seattle for break. There, no one will know who she is. Or so she thinks until she meets Oakley. But as Zoe and Oakley make their way across the country, Zoe realizes that Oakley’s life has also gone off the rails—and that they might just be able to help each other.
