Book summary:
In the summer of 2002, Johnny "JD" Moon sets out to escape his small town life in his bust blue Pontiac with nothing but a duffle bag and a goal: live a little. College-bound in the fall, JD sees his summer in Ocean City, Maryland, as his one last chance to blow off some steam before he has to get serious about life, and he isn’t going to waste it. Under the wing of his flamboyant roommate, Luke, JD finds himself in a world filled with late nights, loud music, and liberation, but his beachfront getaway holds more than just taffy and hotel parties, setting off a series of events that will change his life forever. Beginning with a chance encounter on the boardwalk, JD is quickly drawn into a whirlwind romance of whispered words and breathless kisses that he is no longer content to live without. Summer has an expiration date, though, and on the other side of it, their real lives are waiting for them miles away from the ocean and each other.
Decades in the future, Johnny still carries the unseen scars of their goodbye and all the memories that come with them. Haunted by the ghost of what could have been, he embarks on a journey to reconnect with the only person who can give him closure on the past he can't seem to leave behind.
Told through the dual timelines of euphoric youth and present day hope, Drops of Jupiter is a journey through time from first love to learning to let go, and every lingering melody in between.
Some people are better left ghosts.
Some melodies, best forgotten.
