About to turn 30 and being discharged from
drug rehab, Trevor Roberts is sure he's hit bottom with nowhere to go but up.
He soon learns that sometimes the "bottom" is just the beginning.
With more twists than California's Highway 1, the intimate narrative follows a
young man on a wild month-long ride to the dizzying, drunken heights of Napa
Valley excess where he falls fast for his new boss's intoxicating wife and
becomes entangled in a strange threesome affair. But things soon begin to
unravel as Trevor is drawn into a secret world of sex and scandal, only to have
his lust for success drag him down again through a phantasmagoria of hedonistic
hell. "Shocking and unapologetic", South of Bixby Bridge
barrels along with the "frenetic pace of a Hollywood blockbuster,"
delivering "poetic prose loaded with images". With gripping
drama, witty dialogue, and sexy, jaw-dropping glimpses into the nouveau-riche
underworld of California's wealthy elite, you won't be able to put this
riveting new novel down. Buckle up and enjoy the read!
From the very
beginning of the book you immediately feel for the main character, Trevor, you
can't help but like him even though sometimes you just want to smack him for some
of the decisions he makes. Which is why he is such a likeable character, he is
a real person out in the world somewhere.
The author Ryan Winfield definitely holds true to the stages
that an addict goes through in real life throughout the book. The descriptions
and characters are definitely people that you would meet in everyday life. The
writing is excellent and it was hard to put SoBB down!!
I have already recommended SoBB to numerous people and so
far everyone has loved it!!
