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.
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..
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.
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.
And it\'s a trip to pay homage to the Japanese, the inventors of his chosen suicide technique.
It\'s a trip inspired by his regrets.
It\'s a trip he was supposed to take with his girlfriend, Sara.
He just has one final mission: A trip to Japan.
He is going to quit his advertising job and, when his money runs out, he is going to die.
Jonathan Krause is a man with a plan.
