In this true story, our protagonist Mitch Silver is far from perfect, but that allows everyone to see a piece of themselves in him. He was just like us: a happy-go-lucky kid with the world at his fingertips. He passed the time by throwing parties that would put Project X to shame and blasted Eminem until his ears bled - that is, until his father was diagnosed with kidney cancer. This book explores raw grief intertwined with the growing pains that come with finding your identity between the ages of seventeen and twenty-one. Through the lens of this cunning and sarcastic character you'll realize we aren't defined by our mistakes, but how we find the strength to overcome them. Hurry Up and Die, the phrase coined by the business partner who told Mitch's father to do exactly that, is the bittersweet story of coming of age in the nineties while experimenting with coping mechanisms to deal with the death of his father. His mother and sister are emotionally absent due to their own grieving, leaving him to turn to his high school sweetheart, hard drugs, and juvenile yet hilarious schemes to find any glimmer of joy. This memoir illuminates the internal conflict Mitch has with the person he's becoming. Will he continue to go down the rabbit hole of drug addiction and depression, or will he find a way to overcome his grief and learn to accept himself?
