HTML:<b>“Tender, immersive, and thrilling." —Gabrielle Zevin, author of <i>Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow</i></b><br /> <b>"One of the best novels I’ve ever read about friendship.” —Stephen King, #1 bestselling author<br /> "I can't remember the last time I cared about fictional characters as desperately as I came to care about the beautiful, hilarious and courageous teenage protagonists of <i>Crux</i>." —Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 bestselling author</b><br /> <b>In this story of intense friendship and grit, two down-and-out teens escape their lives and chase a different future through rock-climbing — from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>My Absolute Darling</i>.</b><br /> Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout. Climbing boulders in trash-strewn parking lots during cold desert nights, they seal their unique bond and dream of a life of adventure.<br /> As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and their decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give.<br /> With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, and soul-searching novel about risking everything to change your life.
