Ask About The Second One
For Fifteen Minutes, Life Felt Perfect
Upmarket contemporary fiction
When twenty-one-year-old psychology student Nina misses a lecture, her quiet coursemate Ben lends her his notebook. Then Ben stops coming to university, leaving Nina with the notebook — and the uncomfortable feeling that noticing his disappearance makes her responsible for doing something about it.
Buried among his notes is a line she can’t explain:
Ask about the second one.
What begins as concern becomes an investigation. Nina searches for answers, lies to detectives and begins neglecting the rest of her life — even after she learns that Ben is alive and safe.
ASK ABOUT THE SECOND ONE is a novel about OCD, responsibility, uncertainty, and what happens when getting an answer only creates another question.
Memoir
A funny, reflective memoir about growing up Mormon, teenage obsession, family, relationships and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are supposed to become.
From church corridors and temple interviews to MSN conversations, first love, betrayal and adulthood, FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, LIFE FELT PERFECT looks back at the absurdity and intensity of growing up while trying to make sense of the rules you were given.
It is about faith, shame, humour, memory, and the strange ways childhood expectations follow us into adulthood.
If you want an insight in to what growing up in the early 2000's was like, look no further.
