Some mistakes change your life. Others become your life.
Young, restless, and convinced he can outrun the consequences, a damaged young man disappears into a world of drugs, reckless friendships, and increasingly dangerous choices.
At first, the chaos feels like freedom. Every night offers another escape—from responsibility, from loneliness, from the person he is afraid he might become. But addiction has a way of turning escape into captivity. As the lies accumulate and the people around him begin to fracture, he must confront a truth he has spent years avoiding:
You can't keep destroying yourself without taking others down with you.
Ride is a psychologically raw coming-of-age novel about addiction, damaged masculinity, moral compromise, and the stories people tell themselves to survive. Unflinching but compassionate, it follows a young man through the worst decisions of his life—and asks whether recognizing the truth is enough to save him.
For readers drawn to the transgressive energy of Trainspotting, the alienation of Less Than Zero, and the bruising humanity of Jesus' Son.
If you prefer uncomfortable truths to easy answers, begin Ride today.

"Andrew Lafleche's Ride, like a sharp new switchblade, has a dangerous weight to it. Troy is high risk, with sex, drugs, and crime, and he's giving his life the finger. Ride is highway speed and echoes Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting." (Gerald Arthur Moore, author of Shatter the Glass)
“Lafleche weaves a counterculture of loathing that mirrors a Hunter S.Thompson circus party. This is a bush party in the heart of the city and in the heart of Troy. The question is…will he survive?” (Keith Inman, author of The War Poems)
