About the Book

A young woman has one minute to speak on a submission video to win a one-way trip to Mars, alocation she views as the ultimate escape. As she barricades herself in a cottage by the sea and prepares to record, she examines the fixation of the colour, red, shame, guilt and a dramatic breakup with her boyfriend, and thee breakdown of her relationship with her best friend. There is another problem however, her jaw has been wired shut for a long time, and she's having trouble speaking. A passionate story about queer love and loneliness and a dazzling debut from author Meghan Greeley.
