Description: Life just isn't The Love Boat for thirty-one year old "Shannon", the tongue-in-cheek narrator of this novel. She's reached adulthood only to learn that credit cards don't pay themselves, no obvious mate has appeared with her name pinned to his jersey, and a job doing new-product research for a fledgling software company, "The Jerry Corp", doesn't quite make ends meet in the meaning department. There's a loser boyfriend, and then another boyfriend, a therapist called "The Counselor", and, unforgettably, Shannon's mother",Flo", who showcases the full spectrum of motherly traits, from unwanted critique to unrecognizable leftover-inspired casseroles, to quirky advice to her not-quite-grown-up adult daughter. A daughter who, in a fit of debt and a bruised heart, moves back home to witness the day-to-day tremors of her parents' own marriage. A dark-and-light tale unfolds, fresh witty, and poignant, told by a young woman with a universal touch.
