商品簡介
Daphne and Oliver have almost nothing in common. Daphne attends her town's public high school; Oliver is a student at the elite Sacred Heart. Daphne is a quiet, bookish drama nerd; Oliver is the popular, outgoing mascot for the Sacred Heart football team. It seems unlikely that their paths would ever cross, but one single event has bound them inextricably to one another--Daphne's older sister, Emily, and Oliver's older brother, Jason, former lovers, committed suicide together seven years earlier.
When Daphne uncovers the bucket list Emily and Jason left hidden under the floorboards of Emily's room--a list comprised of Emily and Jason's TOP TEN places to visit before they die--she knows that she cannot tell her parents, but also knows she must tell someone. Though Daphne has never met Jason's younger brother, Oliver, when his name enters her head as a possible confidant, she cannot get it out. Daphne sends Oliver a Facebook message and a friend request, not realizing she's on the brink an experience that will change the landscape of her life forever.
Daphne and Oliver's quest to complete the bucket list Emily and Jason left behind takes them on an adventure through Los Angeles. Lacking the funds to visit Jim Morrison's grave or Mount Everest, Daphne and Oliver must re-imagine Jason and Emily's dreams through the lens of their beautiful, imperfect city, seeking solace through landmarks like the Elliot Smith Wall and the Hollywood sign. From Venice Beach to Chinatown, the two teens confront their grief and anger, but also gain a newfound joy and understanding for the siblings they lost. In the midst of finding something akin to closure, they realize they are on the brink of something more than friendship.
Tackling grief and despair with a wry voice and an unflinching eye, So Glad to Meet You/i> tells the story of two people who, in searching for what they've lost, end up finding what they never knew they needed--each other.
