    About this audiobook

    The Breakfast Club meets The Silver Linings Playbook in this powerful, provocative, and heartfelt novel about twelve strangers who come together to make the most of their final days, from New York Times bestselling and award-winning author J. Michael Straczynski.

    Mark Antonelli, a failed young writer looking down the barrel at thirty, is planning a cross-country road trip. He buys a beat-up old tour bus. He hires a young army vet to drive it. He puts out an ad for others to join him along the way. But this will be a road trip like no other: His passengers are all fellow disheartened souls who have decided that this will be their final journey—upon arrival in San Francisco, they will find a cliff with an amazing view of the ocean at sunset, hit the gas, and drive out of this world.

    The unlikely companions include a young woman with a chronic pain sensory disorder and another who was relentlessly bullied at school for her size; a bipolar, party-loving neo-hippie; a gentle coder with a literal hole in his heart and blue skin; and a poet dreaming of a better world beyond this one. We get to know them through access to their texts, emails, voicemails, and the daily journal entries they write as the price of admission for this trip.

    By turns tragic, funny, quirky, charming, and deeply moving, Together We Will Go explores the decisions that brings these characters together, and the relationships that grow between them, with some discovering love and affection for the first time. But as they cross state lines and complications to the initial plan arise, it becomes clear that this is a novel as much about the will to live as it is the choice to end it. The final, unforgettable moments as they hurtle toward the outcomes awaiting them will be remembered for a lifetime.

      This will be one of my favorite books of 2023! Even though the subject is heavy, the author does a great job capturing the nuances and emotions and making you love all the characters.

      This was incredible. Heartwarming and heartbreaking, it deals with the heavy themes in a poignant and emotional way. I shed tears along the way, it was that emotional of an experience.

      At its core, "Together We Will Go" is a road trip novel that follows a group of strangers who decide to travel across the country in a bus, hoping to find meaning and purpose in their lives before it all ends. As they journey together, they share their stories, their fears, and their hopes, all while grappling with the ultimate question of what it means to live and to die.
