The Love You Take A Novel

The Love You Take follows Andy and a small circle of clever, idiosyncratic, and highly engaging friends as they journey from youth to adulthood against the unsettling social and political landscape of the 1970s. At pivotal moments-accidents, betrayals, and revelations-the characters face consequential emotional decisions and navigate unexpected challenges. A farcical trip to Key West and an emotionally draining encounter in Charlottesville inform the course of Andy's life and the lives of those around him, especially two memorable, charismatic women Andy loves. With vivid characters, a keen sense of place, and warm humor, The Love You Take explores the lasting impact of our choices, and the moments-both comic and profound-that shape us on the passage to adulthood.
