Beach House Burning

By T/James Reagan

Beach House Burning is being called "The Feel Bad Book Of The Summer." Whenever some sort of tragedy happens, we all get on the social network of our choosing and declare, "It's time we had a serious conversation about mental health in this country " then we watch the easy-likes roll in, and that's the end of the discussion. T/James Reagan's, Beach House Burning, is the serious conversation we always claim we need. The novel is both sympathetic and crude, mainly because that's the only way this nation can discuss anything. A decade-and-a-half after Lovetrust, Beach House Burning finds Kurt Jones reconnecting with his friends from high school. During this reunion, each friend reveals that their life hasn't turned out how they thought it would. The only one who achieved their childhood dream is Levi Banes, who's now a Spotify-famous country music star. With the profits from his constant touring, Levi has purchased a beach house, and his idea is for everyone to spend a couple months in this house on the New Jersey shore as a "summer vacation" where they can address what's dragging them down. In the days following the dinner, one-by-one, each character shows up at the beach house, and what follows is a summer of introspection, arguments, and self-discovery. Exceptionally current, ambitiously told, and completely fearless, Beach House Burning is a return to the notion that a novel should be "word from the front" showing us how we live, while serving as a snapshot of a specific time for future generations.
