The story follows a young man forced out of his comfort zone to console an old friend, now a leukemia patient. You might be thinking, “he’ll probably go on a great journey through his own mind in order to learn a valuable lesson about life or mortality or something nice.” A heartwarming and simple story to write for a debut novel.
In reality, there is no warming of any hearts in this book. In fact, if you put it close enough to your heart, it would probably get a few degrees colder. This book is nothing but quips, mistakes, self degradation, and regret. Yet it still manages to be funny even while dealing with such a morbid topic.
