From the author of the critically-acclaimed debut People Who Knew
Me comes the story of one man’s determination to abandon his will
to live. Jonathan Krause is a man with a plan. He is going to quit
his advertising job and, when his money runs out, he is going to
die. He just has one final mission: A trip to Japan. It’s a trip
he was supposed to take with his girlfriend, Sara. It’s a trip
inspired by his regrets. And it’s a trip to pay homage to the
Japanese, the inventors of his chosen suicide technique. In
preparation for his final voyage, Jonathan enrolls in a Japanese
language class where he meets Riko, who has her own plans to visit
her homeland, for very different reasons. Their unexpected and
unusual friendship takes them to Japan together, where they each
struggle to make peace with their past and accept that happiness,
loneliness, and grief come and go—just like the cherry blossoms.
Haunted by lost love, Jonathan must decide if he can embrace the
transient nature of life, or if he must choose the certainty of
death.
