While passion and prose push them closer together in the Florida heat, Katrina and Nathan will learn that relationships, like writing, sometimes take a few rough drafts before they get it right. Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel.

Surrounded by a vivid and memorable cast of characters-aspiring pop musicians, Caribbean-obsessed psychologists, death-haunted photographers, girls who dream of anonymous men falling in love with them on buses, and even Buzz Aldrin himself, Buzz Aldrin, What Happened To You In All The Confusion? is an epic story of Mattias's pop-saturated odyssey. With a wad of bills in his pocket and no memory of how he had come to be there, a truck approaches driven by a troubled man with an offer that will shortly change Mattias's life.

While obsessing about Aldrin, Mattias encounters a series of disasters, climaxing with him waking up on a rain-soaked road in the desolate Faroe Islands. It tells the story of Mattias, a thirty-something gardener living in Norway, whose idol is Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon. Buzz Aldrin, What Happened to You in All the Confusion?
