Main character, Matthew Rose, is lost, rich, and self-destructive. Is it better to forget or to remember? Is it better to let go of the past or to hold onto it as the memories tear you apart? There is more to college than turning 21, and trying to balance a social life with academic success. College is about letting go of childhood as adulthood looms. It’s about young love, and finding yourself. Provocative and insightful, these stories are filled with the bitter knockdowns and reckless stabs at redemption that make life both trying and wonderful.
