Book Description

Travis Richard Davis is steel by definition. He can steel his resolve to succeed or wear it as an armor of determination. Women and life melt his heart with passion and fire it with fury, like steel turning to liquid by furnace heat before it is poured and forged into reality. Davis is a semi-professional drag racer and a hard-working master heavy equipment mechanic who also has a passion for innovation and acceleration. This guy lives, sleeps, eats, and dreams innovative ways to go faster. During his pursuit to campaign a record-holding twin turbo Drag Race Altered, he unexpectedly meets the love of his life. Based on real and imagined events that happened in the late 80s when turbocharging in drag racing was scoffed at, Love, Lust, and Combustion explores the turbocharged trials and tribulations of Travis Richard Davis and how a small team of motivated, smart, and hardworking individuals focused on a common goal.

Book Description

Now a new motion picture starring Katherine Langford, Charlie Plummer, and Hayley Law! “Truly the smartest and funniest book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read.” –John Green, #1 bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars Mara Carlyle’s senior year is going as normally as could be expected, until fellow senior Katelyn Ogden explodes during third period pre-calc. Katelyn is the first, but she won’t be the last teenager to blow up without warning or explanation. As the national eye turns to Mara’s suburban New Jersey hometown, the FBI rolls in and the search for a reason is on. Mara narrates the end of their world as she knows it while trying to make it to graduation in one piece. It’s an explosive year punctuated by romance, quarantine, lifelong friendship, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bloggers, ice cream trucks, and Bon Jovi. Aaron Starmer rewrites the rulebook with Spontaneous. But beneath the outrageous is a ridiculously funny, super honest, and truly moving exemplar of the absurd and raw truths of being a teenager in the 21st century . . . and the heartache of saying goodbye. “Wildly inventive.” –Entertainment Weekly “Must List” “A comically surreal novel that will blow your mind.” –People Magazine
