Book annotation:
"You're just fifteen, a lover of clay, cacti, and jumpsuits. Your world revolves around only three people: your globetrotting father, who's never at home, a fashion-savvy friend with a better sense of style than you, and your boyfriend. But deep down, you have a secret crush on your new geography teacher. Or do you? It's all so complicated.
Yet, the real whirlwind has yet to begin. Brace yourself for a future filled with covert schemes, an isolated city, and mountains of trash... Try not to lose yourself in the junk, Lesya!"
