The first part of the duology «Shattered» by Max Falk.
From his mother, Michael inherited a rebellious Irish heart, and from his father — German pedantry. He is only twenty, and he has a dream: to break free from his poor life to become a stuntman. But for now, he has to work in his father's car repair shop to save money.
A chance encounter with James allows Michael to see in reality the world he strives for — a world of luxury and wealth. James has everything that Michael lacks: he is handsome, rich, educated, and studying at a prestigious college.
Starting their acquaintance with a fight over a girl, they become friends. Their communication grows into a friendship.
But the road to the dream is unpredictable: will they be able to avoid disaster?
Sharp as glass. Taut as a string. An emotional story about a mad love that you will never forget!
