A young couple meets in college and falls in love. Somehow, on the way to what could be the middle class "dream" of stability and responsibility, they veer off into drug addiction and bank robbery. The intervening time is spent by him in the Army in Iraq acquiring a nice case of PTSD, her continuing her education but seemingly open to drug use. When they reunite after his return to the U. S., things go downhill quickly as they live only to find their next fix and become more open to financing their habit by any means available. This is an amazing debut novel by a guy who is serving time after being caught robbing banks to finance his drug habit after serving in the Army in Iraq. The audio by Jeremy Bobb is fantastic. His voice seems perfect for this character and was more enjoyable than reading the text.
