Description

Ross Mathcamp has just broken up with the love of his life, Lora, in a foolish attempt to demonstrate his high-retail value as a partner, only to find out shes already moved on and into the arms of some Thirty-Year-Old-Loser. But the universe isnt done piling on. After getting back on the horse via dating apps, Ross believes he has occasioned karmic punishment when his parents die in a fiery helicopter crash over Turks & Caicos, leaving him to care for his adolescent sister, Emily, and the millions of dollars theyve both inherited. Newly orphaned and a single parent, Ross sets out to win back his ex, adopting progressively extreme methods that thrust him into a carnivalesque underbelly of New York City, populated by Uber drivers moonlighting as private detectives, shady, over-liberal doctors, and social media influencers. As his schemes fail to entice Lora, Ross is forced to reckon with his loss and, possibly, regain his values in a world that seems devoid of them.Let Me Try Again, a subversive novel that touches on grief, loss, and self-improvement, crafts an astute commentary on the current culture.
