    Summary

    Humans, I decided a long time ago, are absurd. But the strangest thing about them, I think, isn’t their inclination to share meals together (disgusting) or their constant need for sleep. Not even their inability to properly speak. No, I decided long, long ago. The worst part about humans is their determination to throw themselves into places where they aren’t meant to be.

    Summary

    Los Angeles, 1962. A late night, an empty street, and two wild young lovers destined to crash and burn. But before the burn, there's the spark.

    Holland March is a rookie cop fiending for a chance to prove himself on his own merit; Emily Murphy is a burgeoning young actress enchanted by the Hollywood glamor. When he pulls her over one fateful night for speeding down Hollywood Boulevard, the two of them scramble for a way to keep this chance meeting going, and they find one: Emily is going to shadow Holland to learn about detective work for an upcoming film. Holland is by no means a detective, but he's willing to engage in this fiction if it means spending more time with this charming, effusive actress.

    A love story is a mythical thing. Emily's Los Angeles is made for it; Holland's is far too jaded. But as the two circle each other and begin to combine their worlds, the mythological might just become possible.

    Summary

    You will never be happy.

    Words he lived by. Words he’d die by. The truth of the fact of the matter of the bottom line. He would never be happy.

    Which begged the question, was he ever happy? Was Holland March ever happy?
