Rhashan Stone reads the new novel by bestselling author Meg Rosoff.

Moving to New York fresh from college, Jonathan Trefoil's new life as an adult with grown-up responsibilities is not going quite as planned. Although he knows it's a terrible idea, he has hastily accepted his girlfriend Julie's marriage proposal: she works for a wedding magazine and they've offered to pay for everything in return for live-streaming the ceremony and running a four-page spread in the next issue. Soon, the stress of his personal life spills over into his work and the only thing keeping him sane is the companionship of his brother's dogs, Dante and Sissy.
