They say love lasts forever. But they’re wrong. Love can never be measured by time. When Max, a twenty-something kid stuck in a jail-to-rehab cycle, tricks his father’s friend, Chris, into getting him out of jail and reuniting him with his mother in Canada, he forces Chris into a lover’s reunion that Chris has been running from his whole life.

And though the journey north may recall for Chris a few idyllic moments from the '60s, today’s journey is a dangerous one as he and Max are chased by drug dealers, pursued by Max’s impetuous Muslim girlfriend, Kali, and ambushed by her vicious brothers.

The most treacherous part of the journey, though, begins when the destination is reached and Max’s hidden motive for staging his escape to Canada sets in motion a complex triad of duplicity, betrayal, and finally, hope, illuminating the secrets of the heart too long veiled in fear and regret.

Had a chance to both read and listen to the audiobook, and they’re both great! It’s a moving story about grabbing hold of lost love, rather than letting your fears and insecurities loosen your grip. For both young and old, it is a beautiful piece that functions as connective tissue between the bones of our different generations. Give it a read!!

Read it!!

I got hooked on this book with its strong premise of a dying friend asking his long estranged friend to escort his son to a new treatment center. This is a classic picaresque plot like "The Last Detail," as one example, but this resonates strongly to anyone in a parenting role. But the story continues to unfold exploring the different paths and choices we face in life and how we can change or if time changes, and we see the world and the people around us in new ways. And find true happiness. The other enjoyable aspect for anyone from California is the detailed description of Los Angeles, the California Coast going north to Canada and the settings in general. I felt like I was in the car or the ferry with the hero and his companions. The reading is also very immersive conveying the pathos and joy threaded throughout the story.

Engaging Storyline, Relatable Characters

Chris, our MC, was abandoned as a young adult when his mom ran off with his younger sister and a new boyfriend. Soon afterwards, he and his best friend run off to explore their freedom and whatever life can throw at them.
A not quite love triangle emerges but Chris is unable to commit. From a mental health position, this is common, believable- and we probably all know someone like this, so it’s relatable.

The storytelling overlaps three time periods. Chris as a young adult, Chris as an older adult, then thoughts written in letters in 2009.

Kali and Nicole’s personalities seemed very similar.

The bonding of the relationships was interesting, but I didn’t find it believable.

Knocking off a star because the major turning point - the facility in Canada sounded completely inaccurate. I’m not versed in Canadian mental health processes and procedures, but I think it was downright written solely for the plot. It was unprofessional. In the US, no one can talk to anyone without the patient’s consent. And Andre completely should not have disclosed anything personal in his office about Max.

I KNOW I wouldn’t have chosen this book if it indicated it has sex in it. It’s just not something I would choose to listen to. The scenes were brief but raw. And it had language, which I was also unprepared for. It wasn’t part of their casual conversations, only during heightened moments.

Otherwise, it was well written and seemed to be edited to a higher standard. I liked it and I think most people would too.

Almost a 4 star and I did enjoy the listen.

The author narrated the book and he did a stunning job. I would TOTALLY pick up another book by him. With caution, of course!

When is it too late to forgive and commit?
