What you need to know before your trail

This is a novel about being young in the 21st century.
About being called a ‘rockstar’ by your boss because of your Excel skills.
About staying up too late buying furniture online, despite the threat of eviction hanging over you. About feeling like all your choices are mortgaged to the parents that made your life possible. About the excitement of moving to a new city: about gay bars, house parties and new romances. About a group of friends – about Sneha, Tig and Thom – and how that can become a family. About love and sex and hope. About knowing that all this could be different.

Travel Guide

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee is the second largest city on Lake Michigan’s shore behind Chicago.

“In summertime, Milwaukee is six-packs in parks, listening to free jazz, festival everything, gastropubs with the young and hip foaming out of them, home reparis, grilling out. All neighorliness, sweet like a laugh.”

“The city is a clenched hand as it grows colder, its people chapped and flaking. Shoulders stooped against the freeze rolling out from the north, barely tempered by Lake Michigan.”
