Publisher's Synopsis
Oh, young adulthood. What a duality of bliss and misery it is for so many. That's certainly been the case for James "Jamie" Gulminer. After a whirlwind of events that occur around his 19th birthday, Jamie is sent into a spiral of emotions and experiences that leave him forever transformed. We're talking about relationships (both romantic and platonic) beginning and ending, experimenting with drugs, traveling to new locations both close by and far from home, dangerous encounters, dropping out of school, and much more.
It seems to Jamie that he is destined to continue to sink further and further down into worlds of misery. Will he ever be as happy as he once was as a child? Will it ever become clear to him what he should do with his life? Does true love actually exist? Is everything temporary? What role do parents play in your life when you're no longer a kid? Is there any way he can climb back up from the depressive abyss he's found himself in? Find out the answers to these and more through his journey of the internal and external worlds of bliss and misery. Perhaps you can even learn a thing or two, even if that's what not to do in certain situations. If anything, maybe you can find some comfort in reading that you're not alone in your struggles and questions of being a new adult.
