Summary
Told entirely in the second person, Charles Benoit's stunning debut novel immerses us in the world of bright, disaffected Kyle Chase, who once showed great potential but by tenth grade has become a genuine slacker. The one bright spot in his life is Ashley, for whom he nurtures a secret passion - a passion he can never bring himself to act upon.
Then Kyle meets Zack - cheerful, funny, cynical Zack who is also bright, also disaffected, and more manipulative than Kyle can begin to imagine...
With uncanny insight, crafting what can only be called YA Noir, Benoit takes us inside the mind of a young man on a collision course with catastrophe. The slow and steady build will grip listeners from the opening line - "You're surprised at all the blood" - and hold them until the shattering conclusion.
