Adam Strand isn't depressed. He's just bored. Disaffected. So he kills himself - 39 times. No matter the method, Adam can't seem to stay dead; he awakes after each suicide alive and physically unharmed, more determined to succeed and undeterred by others' concerns. But when his self-contained, self-absorbed path is diverted, Adam is struck by the reality that life is an ever-expanding web of impact and forged connections, and that nothing - not even death - can sever those bonds. In this hyper-edgy coming-of-age story told in stark, arresting prose, Alex Award-winning author Gregory Galloway finds hope and understanding in the blackest humor. 'Gritty'. SLJ ''Riveting.' Booklist, starred review 'Sophisticated.' BCCB 'Moody and compelling.' Kirkus Reviews 'Darkly humorous.' Voya gregorygalloway.com
