"Teacher. One of the most unsexy jobs ever. Why couldn't I have been in film school or architecture? I had to pick the Faculty of Cotton Pants."
Just cresting her thirties, Anna Lasko is a frustrated high school teacher whose almost ex-boyfriend, Adam, is away on temporary assignment in Europe. She finds herself tricked into a break-up-with-the-bad-boyfriend intervention by her supportive but meddling girlfriends. To cope with it all, Anna starts smoking again, keeps nightly counsel with her backyard squirrel, Buddy, and starts sessions with a caring but fashion-challenged therapist. Her well-intentioned family adds to the emotional workload when her beautiful and free-spirited sister decides to move to the Middle East with her boyfriend. Luckily, Anna has her gun-toting grandmother who constantly says it like it is, refuses to conform to anyone?s requests, and continues to live on her prairie farm half-blind, happy, and alone.
A spectacularly fun debut novel about the bonds that break and make family, friendship, and love.
