IT TOOK THREE CAR CRASHES TO KILL JAKE

The first crash. New Hampshire. Teenagers Theron and Jake meet in the heat of the summer. Jake is everything Theron wants to be - hot, cool, interesting. Drunk in Jake's van on their last night together, they hurtle off a dirt road at 2am.

The second crash. New York City. Jake and Theron have drifted apart, but when they are reunited in the midst of a hurricane, they are both forever changed.

The third crash. Texas. Driving on a lonely highway, Jake finds the oblivion he has always been chasing in one final collision, and Theron is left to grapple with the ghosts of their past.

A beautiful exploration of the all-encompassing nature of friendship, specifically male friendship, and the devastating speed at which grief can derail your life - Service95

It should be placed alongside modern love stories such as Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow- Crack

This book will make you cry - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
