Summary

Potter Mays retreats immediately after college graduation to the safe house of his childhood home. Each morning his mother makes him eggs just the way he likes them. His father ("not to pressure") promises to help him find a job. His best friend, Stuart, an Independent Thought Contractor working out of his parents' lavish pool house, is willing to serve as a kind of life coach, provided, of course, that Potter pays for his services all summer. The only one missing is Audrey, Potter's (former? future?) girlfriend, who is backpacking around Eurpoe with her beautiful bisexual traveling companion, Carmel. Kyle Beachy has woven a uniquely affecting story of the long and hard, then quick and hard, struggle to grow up
