I didn't care about Heaven, and I certainly didn't fear Hell-I was already living in it.
Done with his dead-end job as a data analyst, done with his hateful cat, and done with a city that treats him like a toothpick left on a dinner table: unnecessary. He's on a rooftop in the middle of New York City, looking for the exit.
He didn't expect to be interrupted. Especially not by a girl in a hospital gown with a stolen pack of cigarettes and a death wish that rivals his own.
What follows is a single night's journey through the electric veins of a cynical city. From a grease-stained diner to the quiet corners of a world that has moved on without them, Isaac and Violet form a fragile, jagged bond.
In a city of eight million people, they've finally found the only other person who understands the hum in the back of their skulls. But as the sun begins to creep over the horizon, they have to decide: is a shared beer and a bad joke enough to change the ending of their story?
Beautifully Broken Bodies is a raw, gritty, and unapologetic look at the space between survival and starting over.
