Jay Asher

I needed a break... from myself.
Jay Asher

Jay Asher
Image
Josh will begin disappearing into a future where the only place he and I remain friends is on the Internet.
Jay Asher
Image
I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like interconnected websites where people show their photos and write about everything going on in their lives, like whether they found a parking spot or what they ate for breakfast. But why? Josh asks.
Jay Asher
Image

Jay Asher

It was love because it was worth it.
