Mickey Montauk and Halifax Corderoy are the Encyclopaedists. Held together by: a common sense of humour, Seattle, a handful of wild nights, a nonsensical shared Wikipedia page. Pushed apart by: Boston versus Baghdad, the Iraq War, a shared girl.

Freshly graduated from high school, these two friends are about to be thrust into new lives. Montauk's National Guard unit are deploying abroad; Corderoy must take up his place at college and decide what to do about Mani, his suddenly-homeless not-quite-girlfriend.

Worlds apart, still clinging to pieces of their old selves, the year to come will force them both to question what adulthood, friendship and happiness really look like - and will leave them both transformed.
Publisher's description. Hilarious and heartbreaking, a coming-of-age tale for modern America. Mickey and Halifax are best friends: held together by a sense of humour, shared memories, world-class parties, but pushed apart by looming adulthood, the Iraq War and girls. After high school, thrust into new lives worlds apart, they must decide what friendship and happiness really mean.
