Description
Sex. Wine. Jazz. Existential dread.
Meet Bob, a sarcastic radio technician who has enough on his plate trying to navigate his forties without his Cambridge neighborhood becoming overrun by urban treehuggers and uppity intellectuals in tracksuits. Between a love triangle, a rapidly shrinking job market, and the looming threat of finally growing up, Bob is forced to dig deep-man-and figure out not just what he wants, but who he is. Change hits hard when you live in the past.
Louie Cronin's breakthrough novel is a coming-of-middle-age story that pays homage to the everyday.

Reviews
"...wonderfully witty and inventive, ... a sparkling debut." -- Margot Livesey, The Flight of Gemma Hardy
"A very funny, very smart book, this one has it all: Cambridge wackos, toxic trees, and characters you fall in love with. Here I thought Cronin was just goofing off all these years, but she's been busy writing this very cool book." -- Ray Magliozzi, co-host of Car Talk on NPR
"Permit me to rave, this is that hard-to-find, A+ novel so smart and wry and so beautifully observed that I kept saying, "Wish I could do that." I loved everything about this wonderful book." -- Elinor Lipman, The Inn At Lake Devine
