An entire novel about mundane life and living with the weight of your best friends suicide.
"Life doesn't require ideals. It requires standards of action.”
A stunning and moving exploration into the life of a young man in his late teens to early twenties going through life on auto pilot, and the impact people can have on your life and journey, likewise the impact you can have on theirs.
"I don't care what you do to me, but I don't want you to hurt me. I've had enough hurt already in my life. More than enough. Now I want to be happy”
Moving through this novel is similar to watching a tranquil stream flow. Calming and subtly moving.
"No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn someth from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.”
