"It's really a very simple story. What happened was this: I met this girl and did a very stupid thing. I fell in love. Hard. I know that to some people that makes me an idiot and a loser. What can I say? They're right. I did some extremely foolish things; I'm the first to say it. And they've left me in jail and alone."So begins one of the most compelling, emotionally charged, and affecting novels you are likely to read this year.It is the summer of 1968 and a young man takes a job at a camp in upstate New York before starting his first semester at Columbia University. There, he meets Rachel Price, a fellow counselor who is as beautiful as she is haunted. Their romance will burn with a passion neither of them has ever known before...a passion with the power to destroy.WHAT IT WAS LIKE is an intimate, raw, and revealing journey through the landscape of all-consuming love. It announces the debut of a remarkable storyteller.
Peter Seth is a writer living in Los Angeles. He has written for television shows produced by Gary David Goldberg ("Brooklyn Bridge") and Glenn Gordon Caron ("Showroom"). He wrote, produced, and directed the award-winning short film Lunch with Louie, which appeared in more than thirty-five film festivals around the world. He was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island. He is the author of two novels, the national bestseller What It Was Like, and its sequel, When I Got Out.
"It's like GONE GIRL meets ENDLESS LOVE. A terrific story filled with fascinating characters."--Ethan Cross "My obsession with WHAT IT WAS LIKE is identical to the one the story's wry, intelligent, and completely unremorseful narrator has for the beautiful, sexually intoxicating and mesmerizing Rachel Prince, with whom he begins a romance that we know from the opening pages is ill-fated. Once I started reading, I had to finish the book as fast as I could. Reading What is Was Like made me experience all the joys - and dangers - of teenage lust with an immediacy that I haven't felt since SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS."--Stan Chervin, Academy Award nominated screenwriter "Passionate, stark, haunted fiction that nails it on the head about young adult romance gone awry."--Crystal Book Reviews
