What It Was Like: A Novel of Love and Consequence

"It's like GONE GIRL meets ENDLESS LOVE. A terrific story filled with fascinating characters."
-- Ethan Cross, international best-selling author of THE SHEPHERD

"My obsession with WHAT IT WAS LIKE is identical to the one the storyâ€™s wry, intelligent, and completely unremorseful narrator has for the beautiful, sexually intoxicating and mesmerizing Rachel Prince, with whom he begins a romance that we know from the opening pages is ill-fated. Once I started reading, I had to finish the book as fast as I could. Reading What is Was Like made me experience all the joys â€“ and dangers â€“ of teenage lust with an immediacy that I havenâ€™t felt since SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS.â€
â€“ Stan Chervin, Screenwriter, Academy Award nominee for MONEYBALL

â€œWHAT IT WAS LIKE is a story about all kinds of love â€“ the obsessive first love of two unforgettable teenagers as well as the layers of love that can lie in tortuous wait between parents and children, a love as deep and hidden as an ominous quarry. If indeed youâ€™ve ever wondered what kind of parents J.D. Salinger and Patricia Highsmith would have made if they had gotten together, then look no further than Peter Seth, their literary progeny.â€
â€“ Kevin Sessums, author, I LEFT IT ON THE MOUNTAIN and editor in chief, FourTwoNine magazine

â€œI was the worldâ€™s rudest houseguest the weekend I brought along WHAT IT WAS LIKE. From the opening chapter, I could not look away until I had read through to the stunning (and heartbreaking!) final pages. Peter Seth has done a wickedly skillful job of storytelling.â€
â€“ Kate Klimo, Author of THE DRAGON KEEPERS and THE DOG DIARIES

â€œPassionate, stark, haunted fiction that nails it on the head about young adult romance gone awry.â€
â€“ Crystal Book Reviews

â€œItâ€™s really a very simple story. What happened was this: I met this girl and did a very stupid thing. I fell in love. Hard. I know that to some people that makes me an idiot and a loser. What can I say? Theyâ€™re right. I did some extremely foolish things; Iâ€™m the first to say it. And theyâ€™ve left me in jail and alone.â€

So begins one of the most compelling, emotionally charged, and affecting novels you are likely to read this year.

It is the summer of 1968 and a young man takes a job at a camp in upstate New York before starting his first semester at Columbia University. There, he meets Rachel Price, a fellow counselor who is as beautiful as she is haunted. Their romance will burn with a passion neither of them has ever known beforeâ€¦a passion with the power to destroy.

WHAT IT WAS LIKE is an intimate, raw, and revealing journey through the landscape of all-consuming love. It announces the debut of a remarkable storyteller.
