15-year-old Ian Racalmuto can handle assassins, bombs, and a new school in a strange city... but a crush on his best friend? Stopping world war is easier.
After a violent embassy raid in Algiers, Ian Racalmuto's life is in ruins.
His mother—a vodka-soaked spy—is dead.
His brother, a vanished diplomat, is missing.
And the cremation urn Ian lost? It holds a relative’s ashes—and a phone that could end civilization.
Now exiled to Philadelphia with a cantankerous grandfather and seven days on the clock, Ian must survive assassins, prevent global catastrophe, and figure out tenth grade in an urban school.
His closest ally is William Xiang—an undocumented classmate with a tough home life, cruel classmates, and a smile that’s a tactical liability. They make a formidable team, but as Ian’s feelings for Will grow, his mission gets even more dangerous.
Bullets are one thing. Telling your best friend you have a crush on him? That could be fatal.
Like a dime store pulp adventure of the past, No Good About Goodbye is an incautious, funny, coming-of-age tale for mature teens and adult readers.

"Brilliant... a rollicking good read. No Good About Goodbye is an utterly charming teenage LGBTQ falling-in-love adventure."—C.S. Holmes, Indiereader
Rot Gut Pulp: Entertainment, not Genius.™
No Good About Goodbye is a work of fiction. It contains difficult subject matter, questionable tropes, and no guarantee of representation or universal comfort. Sensitivities vary from person to person, and neither the author nor the publisher offer further advisories.
