The hilarious and irreverent debut novel about a modern
Everyman struggling to learn how to love, choose, and commit on his
own terms, from the highly acclaimed singer and songwriter. From
the first moment he met Jocelyn, he knew he would marry her or
destroy his life trying. He didn’t count on being the lucky bastard
that got to do both. It’s October 1996 in Cape Cod. Our hero a
narrator so ordinary that he remains nameless is a talented but
floundering musician-turnedwaiter who has hightailed it out of a
volatile day-old marriage in New York and further into his own
ever-deepening mess. With no job, no apartment, no wife, and a six
pack of beer, he’s looking for a clean slate. For years he’s been
dodging life’s extremes, stuck somewhere between responsibility and
freedom, love and obsession, obligation and desire, apathy and
success. Now he’s seeking sanctuary at the home that his sister
abandoned, along with her marriage, so that he can sort out
something in his life what, he’s not quite sure. Looking for
distraction from his memories of the hot-blooded Jocelyn, who is
still refusing to return his calls, he agrees to look after his
two-year-old nephew. Together, the unlikely pair catches the
attention of Marie, a young woman in the neighborhood with a
troubled past of her own. As they get to know each other, our hero
ventures into unknown territory, where his affection for a damaged
kindred spirit just might shock him awake and shake him to the
core. By turns hilariously irreverent and unpredictably affecting,
“It Feels So Good When I Stop” is a disarmingly fresh love story
and coming-ofage novel that refracts with pristine clarity what
it’s like to grow up, and to fall and stay in love in the real
world.
