_____ Part 1: Going to New York _____

The strange true story of the first influencer.

Oliver, a hacker living in Germany, meets Donna online. She's an American girl living in New York. After chatting and talking on the phone for months, he finally decides to surprise her with a visit. But he soon finds out that things are not what they appeared to be, and that this visit will change his life forever.

“Nobody has ever killed themselves over a broken arm. But every day, thousands of people kill themselves because of a broken heart. Why? Because emotional pain hurts much worse than physical pain.”
-Oliver Markus Malloy, Bad Choices Make Good Stories

“Don't ever think you're better than a drug addict, because your brain works the same as theirs. You have the same circuits. And drugs would affect your brain in the same way it affects theirs. The same thought process that makes them screw up over and over again would make you screw up over and over as well, if you were in their shoes. You probably already are doing it, just not with heroin or crack, but with food or cigarettes, or something else you shouldn't be doing.”
-Oliver Markus Malloy, Bad Choices Make Good Stories

"A must read. One of those rare books that sucks you in from the first to the last page."
★★★★★ - Amazon Review

_____ Part 2: The Heroin Scene in Fort Myers _____

America has a heroin problem.

Oliver moves from New York to Florida. Battling with depression, he gets sucked into the seedy underworld of Fort Myers, where he encounters a number of female drug addicts. He empathizes with them because of his own traumatic past. Oliver feels compelled to try to help them escape the addict lifestyle, but learns the hard way that he is in way over his head.

"A truly fascinating and unexpected look at the darker side of addiction."
★★★★★ - A. Allyson, Goodreads

_____ Part 3: Finding Happiness in Los Angeles _____

If you're a fan of John Oliver, Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, or Seth Meyers, you'll love this book.

After writing a book about his bizarre adventures in America's underbelly, Oliver finally finds love among his readers on Goodreads.

"I think it will become a standard for people who are dealing with loved ones struggling with addictions."
★★★★★ - B. Bridges, Amazon Review
