Burning the blunt at both ends is a way of life for Byron Bella, a twenty-something high-grade pot dealer, music lover, and closet-author living in New York City, but the death of his little brother sparks a quest of self-discovery leading Byron to reevaluate who he is, who his friends are, and finally decide if he is brave enough to put down the blunt and pick up a pen before his illicit lifestyle catches up with him for good. Burn Me Up Fast is an introspective, thought-provoking novel, taking place in a fast-paced world filled with drugs and parties, fear and guns, life lessons and ultimately-love.
