A slacker-lit novel about lost love, bad decisions, and a Plymouth Barracuda that barely runs—set in the suburban sprawl of 1980s California.
Home for the summer in Silicon Valley after his first year at Berkeley, Colin drifts through fading family ties, old friendships, and the bittersweet pull of first love—only to find that nothing feels quite the way it used to. But by the novel’s end, he knows he can’t go back. Packed with road trips, keggers, and the kind of nights that felt like they’d last forever, Mountain View captures the blur of a summer where everything changes.

From the Author
This was the first novel I wrote, originally in my late twenties while living in San Francisco. For years the manuscript existed only on a floppy disk in the back of my desk drawer. It is presented here in its original form—a small time capsule from another era.
