Raw, Rowdy, and Disturbing.

Troy doesn’t believe in consequences.

Not really.

Not when there’s always another party.

Another line.

Another girl.

Another excuse.

But somewhere between the drugs, the violence, and the lies he tells himself to keep moving, something begins to crack.

And it’s not subtle.

After a night spirals into bloodshed, friendships fracture, and a second abortion forces him to confront a reality he’s spent years outrunning, Troy doubles down—on chaos, on numbness, on the idea that none of it matters anyway.

Because if nothing matters…then nothing can hurt you.

Right?

Set against a backdrop of suburban decay, broken families, and reckless youth, Ride drags you headfirst into a world of:

• addiction and self-destruction
• toxic relationships and emotional detachment
• sex, drugs, and escalating violence
• the quiet, suffocating weight of guilt

Told in a raw, unapologetic voice, this is a relentless coming-of-age novel that refuses redemption and rejects easy answers.

Fans of Trainspotting and Less Than Zero will recognize the chaos—but Ride pushes deeper into the psychological wreckage of a generation that knows better… and does it anyway.

This isn’t a story about growing up.

It’s about what happens when you don’t.
