Next: A Novel

Kevin Quinn has a lot on his mind: his younger girlfriend that he can't quite commit to, his advancing years, and disturbing global events. Then there's the woman sitting next to him on the plane. She's young, gorgeous, and utterly distracting. Against his better judgement, Kevin decides to follow her off the plane. As he follows her down city streets, he is reminded of his earlier days when impulsive love and youthful idealism governed much of his life. But Kevin can't just follow the woman around all day. He has other things to worry about - like a job interview that may offer him the second chance he needs. James Hynes' book "Next" is a mesmerizing and comical sotry of regret and redemption.
