J.A. Jernay

Some fish are meant to be caught. Others are meant to slip out of your hands and flop around on the boat deck of life. Strikethru is about the fish that slapped you in the face before leaping back into the sea. In this painfully honest and sharply funny confessional, J. A. Jernay takes you on a guided tour of his relationships gone wrong-roommates, friends, lovers, a wife, and people who still haven't returned that message from a decade ago.
In Strikethru, you'll find stories of- friends who disappeared like Homer Simpson into a bush romantic partners who gleefully sabotaged new relationships an emotionally damaged spouse who drove their marriage into the ground Candid and cringeworthy, this short memoir is meant for anyone who's ever been dropped by a wife or husband, or ditched by a best friend. Equal parts reflection, regret, and rant, Strikethru explores the many ways that we humans fail to hold onto the people closest to us.
