Nathan Boone wasn't looking for trouble-just a fresh start. Northern Connecticut State University was supposed to be his clean slate. A place to focus on writing, breathe for once, and maybe figure out where he belonged. Instead, it feels like stepping into a storm. He shows up with his only real friend, Eve, only to be dropped into a world that moves too fast and cuts too deep. His roommate, Gabe, is chaos with a pulse-loud, hilarious, and unapologetically himself. Then there's Mia-soft-spoken, magnetic, and quietly orbiting her own rules. And Dante.

Produktbeschreibung
Nathan Boone wasn't looking for trouble-just a fresh start. Northern Connecticut State University was supposed to be his clean slate. A place to focus on writing, breathe for once, and maybe figure out where he belonged. Instead, it feels like stepping into a storm. He shows up with his only real friend, Eve, only to be dropped into a world that moves too fast and cuts too deep. His roommate, Gabe, is chaos with a pulse-loud, hilarious, and unapologetically himself. Then there's Mia-soft-spoken, magnetic, and quietly orbiting her own rules. And Dante. The name alone makes Nathan want to disappear. A ghost from his past with unfinished business and a punch that still echoes. But the real danger is Val. She watches from the edges with a smile that means nothing good. Nobody knows what she's really after-only that she plays for keeps. At the center of it all is MIND-the Medically Integrated Neuro Device. It promises clarity, control, and perfection. For someone like Nathan, it could be the answer to everything. Or the start of something he can't take back. As the lines between safety and surrender start to blur, Nathan has to decide: cling to the anxious kid he's always been-or risk becoming something entirely new. Being Nathan was hard enough. Becoming Boone? That might be impossible.
Autorenporträt
As a new voice among Generation X storytellers, Andy LaPlante captures the imagination with his vivid storytelling and fresh outlook. His journey through New England - from the coastal charm of Cape Cod to the suburban landscapes of Western Massachusetts, culminating in Northern Connecticut - has been a path of relentless self-discovery and transformation. Evolving from an avid consumer of stories in all forms, including books, TV, and movies, to a passionate writer, driven by a desire to bring to life the classic narratives he finds missing in today's literary world.In his debut novel, "I Never Knew I Needed You," set against the nostalgic backdrop of the 1990s, Andy rejuvenates the coming-of-age story as the book introduces readers to a protagonist who is unexpectedly thrust back into his youth, where he must navigate through the complexities and unresolved moments he had left behind. This novel approach to the journey toward adulthood underscores LaPlante's commitment to delving into life's intricacies and its inherent unpredictability.His writing pulls from many different places, mixing the wild ideas of science fiction with the real, down-to-earth stories we see in everyday life. This mix makes his writing rich and full of surprises, reflecting the wide range of stories that have caught his eye over the years.He writes with the hope of bringing readers into the worlds he creates, sharing stories as deep and varied as the ones that have inspired him. He believes in the magic of storytelling to shine a light on the many sides of being human.
