“Hilarious and devastating, with hometown heroes and forever-outsiders whose decisions and fates feel both constantly surprising and inevitable, McCarty somehow knits together Middle America, jaded urbanites, bloggers, the publishing industry, adolescence, late-early adulthood, climate change, capitalism, and then-and-now into one of the most prismatic contemporary American novels I’ve encountered in years.”
Xhenet Aliu, author of Everybody Says It’s Everything
“2008 pulled me in from its very first pages and never let me go.”
Aaron Burch, author of Year of the Buffalo
“Absorbing, nostalgic…2008 is a layered novel in which teenage friendships lead to chain reactions that continue years into the future.”
