As mentioned in newer posts, this is my evolving (or devolving, depending on the day) description of my novel. It is a work-in-progress that will hopefully come together once my book is officially ready to submit. If you have any helpful suggestions, I am always excited to listen.
Acutely aware of their unhappiness, Kristen and Jake say “Fuck it all.” They quit their jobs and sell their house to embark on separate journeys. Instead of traveling together, they seek time apart, unwilling to compromise their visions of self-discovery. While Jake, a lanky but attractive runner, heads across country by car, intent to live out his fantasy of solitude on the open road, Kristen, a self-conscious contrast of dark hair blue eyes, departs for Europe, searching for independence even as she inches her way closer to an old flame living in Paris.
New friendships, passions, and adventures abound along the way. Torn between the allure of the unknown and their unrelenting longing for one another, each must ultimately decide which life holds the secret to greater happiness.
