No, not because his mom died\u2014although she did, and it sucks. But he wears the suit for his gig at the local funeral home, which pays way better than the Cluck Bucket, and he needs the income since his dad can\u2019t handle the bills (or anything, really) on his own. So while Dad\u2019s snagging bottles of whiskey, Matt\u2019s snagging fifteen bucks an hour. Not bad. But everything else? Not good. Then Matt meets Lovey. Crazy name, and she\u2019s been through more crazy stuff than he can imagine. Yet Lovey never cries. She\u2019s tough. Really tough. Tough in the way Matt wishes he could be. Which is maybe why he\u2019s drawn to her, and definitely why he can\u2019t seem to shake her. Because there\u2019s nothing more hopeful than finding a person who understands your loneliness\u2014and who can maybe even help take it away.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Atheneum\/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books; Reprint edition (August 16, 2016) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 304 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1442459514 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1442459519 <br \/> Reading age                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 12 years and up <br \/> Lexile measure                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 HL760L <br \/> Grade level                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 7 &#8211; 9 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 8.8 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.25 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the story quality good, awesome, and outstanding.
