Title: So Good!
Review: In Life At These Speeds, Kevin Schuler is swept along the surface of his life: going to high school; running, winning, and breaking records; becoming a local hero; and trying to decide about college. Meanwhile, Kevin is dwelling in the depths of his forgotten past-he is haunted by emotions he cannot confront and undefined fears. His real story unfolds somewhere in between and is punctuated by memorable conversations and occurrences that are all the more poignant because they seem so true. As a reader, I became invested in Kevin Schuler because I often knew more about him than he knew about himself. Like his family and friends, I watched with care and hope to see how Kevin would decide to live. I am so thrilled for first-time author Jeremy Jackson (and for all of us) that his debut novel should be this good.
