A "smart and entertaining"* anti-love story from YA master Blake Nelson James Hoff likes to rant against America's consumerist culture--the malls, the SUVs, the focus on clothes. He also likes to rant against his ex-girlfriend, Sadie, who he doesn't feel is doing enough to change the world --a bike path can't save the environment.
