Crash: a very modern love story (Book 3)
Nan McCarthy
(Simon & Schuster, 1998) 125 pages, $6
The adventure chronicled in Chat and Connect, the first two novels in Nan McCarthy’s heralded cybertrilogy, comes to a jolting conclusion in Crash. As the reader continues to “eavesdrop” on the private email conversations of Bev and Max, two strangers who met online, their relationship grows more intense and complex than they ever imagined.
With a true storyteller’s flourish, McCarthy brings to a close a love story told entirely through two people’s impassioned exchanges. Laced with humor and provocative confessions, the tension-filled conclusion will leave readers thinking about Bev and Max long after the last page.
