ABOUT THE BOOK
Cal wants to be a journalist, and he's already well underway with almost half a million followers and an upcoming internship at Buzzfeed. But his plans are derailed when his pilot father is selected for a highly publicized NASA mission to Mars. Within days, Cal and his parents leave Brooklyn for hot and humid Houston.

With the entire nation desperate for news about the astronauts, Cal finds himself thrust in the middle of a media circus. Suddenly his life is more like a reality TV show, his constantly bickering parents struggling with their roles in the "perfect American family."

And then Cal meets Leon, whose mother is another astronaut on the mission. He finds himself falling head over heels—fast. They become an oasis for each other amid the craziness of this whole experience. As their relationship grows, so does the frenzy surrounding the Mars mission, and when secrets are revealed about ulterior motives of the program, Cal must find a way to get to the truth without hurting the people who have become most important to him.
