Anyone's Ghost

A gorgeous modern love story about two young men who meet, almost fall in love, and find their lives caught up in three car crashes - for fans of Call Me by Your Name, A Little Life and One Day.

The gorgeous, devastating must-read queer love story.

'It should be placed alongside modern love stories such as Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'– Crack
'This book will make you cry' – Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated

It took three car crashes to kill Jake .

The first crash. New Hampshire. Teenagers Theron and Jake meet in the heat of the summer. Jake is everything Theron wants to be – hot, cool, interesting. Drunk in Jake’s van on their last night together, they hurtle off a dirt road at 2am.

The second crash. New York City. Jake and Theron have drifted apart, but when they are reunited in the midst of a hurricane, they are both forever changed.

The third crash. Texas. Driving on a lonely highway, Jake finds the oblivion he has always been chasing in one final collision, and Theron is left to grapple with the ghosts of their past.
