Empire state: a love story (or not) by Jason Shiga 144 pgs.From the author of Bookhunter comes the adventures of Jimmy the twenty something sci-fi reading geek who works the library and is in love with his best friend Sara. She moves to NYC to get on with life and he misses her terribly and decides to visit but first sends a letter confessing his love. Jimmy then hops on a bus for a cross country trip to meet up with Sara and fulfill his destiny. This plan is great but it turns out that Sara has never received the letter and also has a boyfriend. Also entertaining is the fact that the bus ride is long and arduous and the bus is filled with recently released ex-cons. Jimmy returns home on an airplane (Sara loans him the money for the ticket) and is still lonely and sad and potentially going right back to his old life.
