Crash into Me by Albert Borris is a very interesting novel. This is one of those books that I just couldn't put down, but had to read cover to cover. I had to find out what was going to happen at the end. Owen wants to kill himself; in fact, he has tried to kill himself seven times. While spending time in a Psych Hospital, Owen meets Jin-Ae who also wants to commit suicide. Together they meet two other suicidal teens—Frank and Audrey. Together the four of the form, what they call, a suicide pact and a suicide pack. They decide to take a road trip where they will visit the graves of famous people who killed themselves. The trip will be a cross country journey starting in New Jersey and culminating with the four of them committing suicide in Death Valley, California. On this trip the four of them share secrets and learn many things about themselves. They discover truths about themselves and about life and love. Ultimately they each must decide whether life is worth living or if there is no turning back.
