Summary
Working as a bike messenger on the crazy streets of New York for a delivery service known for sending mostly bad messages, Heller takes on his job with the same spunk he takes on life in the summer of 2001--finding himself wrapped up in a whirlwind of people and events along the way.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: It is the simmering summer of 2001 in New York City. Heller is the youngest employee of Soft Tidings, a messenger service whose motto is ânews with a personal touch.â At Soft Tidings, a message is not handed over but told to the recipient. And the messages, as a rule, are not especially good news. Heller prefers his bike to the mandatory Rollerblades, and he gets away with his maniacal bike riding because he is, hands down, the best deliverer of bad news. This summer will be memorable for Heller as he finds himself drawn into the lives of a wildly diverse cast of characters, accidentally falling in love, and relating to people in a whole new way.
