HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE
"And the woman who held everything together while carrying something she decided, very deliberately, not to say"

"And the woman who held everything together while carrying something she decided, very deliberately, not to say"
At its heart, it is the story of Jack: the person who always knew, who always held, and who had to decide, finally, whether holding on to the right things meant letting go of the wrong ones.
When Charlie, Jack, and Nik launch their cryptocurrency trading platform in the summer of 2017, they believe they are building the future of finance. By the height of the bull run, they have raised thirty million dollars, hired a team of true believers, and become exactly the kind of company that gets written about.
They are also, quietly, becoming people they hadn't planned on being.
Hold On for Dear Life follows three friends through idealism, hubris, and redemption. An ICO, a hack, a market crash, a kidnapping, and the long, difficult work of rebuilding something worth holding on to.
A propulsive debut novel about ambition, friendship, and what survives when everything else burns.
"Hold on for Dear Life is the story of what you do when the thing you built nearly destroys you — and whether you can find your way back to why you started."
