The Summer Between (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732327726)

When I was eighteen years old, I knew everything there was to know about anything ever in the history of the entire world. I thought I was a genuine, Stephen Hawking-level genius. My entire life stretched ahead of me, and everything I'd ever wanted was going to be handed to me on a silver platter carried by admiring angels who'd ask, in dulcet tones, "Brendon, how'd you get to be so cool?"

I also thought I was immortal.

Thank God for summer break, for those ten weeks between high school and college when life took me roughly by the collar, shook me hard, and said with a deep, guttural laugh, "Buckle up, kid, 'cause I'm drivin', and you don't know squat."
