""'You can't take a bad photo of a highway'--my favorite quote from this beautiful little book about two lovers on the run from death. something out there in the distance reads like a song, and like a song it will echo inside you long after you've finished it.""--Molly Giles, author of Life Span: Impressions of a Lifetime Spent Crossing and Recrossing the Golden Gate Bridge ""The shape of this book is small but powerful, uncommon but familiar because it is about the unimaginable gap between breathing and dreaming that is grief. Grief literature is trending for a reason, because we are in a state of great loss and transformation. This work aims a bleary eye on the land, the sky, palm trees, and chlorinated pools and then into a single pair of bodies, restless, regretful, earnest, gorgeous, ashamed, and in love--then it waves good-bye to what will never be again.""--Venita Blackburn, author of Dead in Long Beach, California
