商品簡介
A gripping story of survival and the razor’s-edge difference between perfect cruelty and perfect love.
Ben Gibbons chose to kill a man—and nearly died himself as a result—all before he was out of elementary school. Now, facing the end of high school and dead-end future, he's content to make as few choices as possible and enjoy the time he has left with Rose, the beautiful and mercurial girl who chose him, before she inevitably leaves their awful small town—and him—behind. Helping out on simple school-sponsored hiking trip in the northern California wilderness shouldn't be anything more than a chance to make a few bucks and to spend some time with Rose. But when the barometric pressure falls and the stakes suddenly rise, Ben must once again choose between life or death.
“This isn’t meant to be a confession. Not in any spiritual sense of the word. Yes, I’m in jail at the moment. I imagine I’ll be here for a long time, considering. But I’m not writing this down for absolution and I’m not seeking forgiveness, not even from myself. Because I’m not sorry for what I did to Rose. I’m just not. Not for any of it.”
Smart, dark, and twisty, When I Am Through With You will leave readers wondering what it really means to do the right thing.
