Contemporary Chick Lit
Patrick Sanchez delivers a hilarious, moving, and all—too—true
snapshot of a generation of women stretched between
extremes, frazzled
by time and tides, and determined to make everything work
without
losing themselves in the process. Jennifer Costas has her
hands
full. She's the single mother of a five—year—old son; her
full—time job
is only getting busier; her force—of—nature college roommate
recently
showed up on her doorstep in need of a place to stay.
indefinitely; her
increasingly cranky "old—world" mother answers the phone
every morning
with, "I'm not dead," and her newly out—of—the—closet
ex—husband is
constantly late with his child support payments while he
tries to get
his new restaurant, Gonads (think gay Hooters) off the
ground. She
feels guilty about not making "stay—at—home mom cookies" and
wary about
tip—toeing into the dating scene carrying thirty—six years'
worth of
baggage. Having it all means juggling it all, and Jennifer's
trying
desperately not to drop anything. But just when Jennifer
thinks she's
operating at maximum capacity, her mother's health begins to
fail.
Faced with taking care of her mother in addition to her son,
keeping
her career on track, and maintaining some semblance of a
social life,
Jennifer's in for the ride of her life—one that will
challenge her
sense of humor, her sense of self, and her sense of sanity.
