Jazz

Chris Sommers is twenty-three, broke, and blocked. A writer with nothing to say. A man with everything to want. When Amber disappears to Paris, he doesn't hesitate. Buys a one-way ticket to a city he's never seen, chasing a woman who never asked him to follow.

She isn't waiting for him.

She was never going to be waiting for him.

Some obsessions clarify. This one will cost him everything he thought he knew about love, about art, about himself.

Jazz is a novel about wanting what you cannot have. About the stories we tell ourselves to survive wanting. About the moment you finally reach the thing you've been reaching for and discover it was never really there.

Fitzgerald gave us the green light at the end of Daisy's dock.

This is what happens when you swim toward it.

"We all miss the most the things we never had."
