Description
Fiction. When you view 30 as a death sentence, your time is always running out. Such is the predicament of the narrator and Whitney—his long-term girlfriend/ballast/sparring partner. They learn to coexist in a relationship addled by alcohol, drugs, and infidelity. Whether in an apple orchard or a junkie's bathroom, tender moments punctuate an otherwise hauntingly dysfunctional friendship.
