DNF. I can tell, only a few pages into this, that this writing style is not for me. The book has great blurb, but the writing is not the type that I can get into. I'm sure plenty of others will love this though, as it does sound good, if this is your style of writing.
Marjorie Plum was the most popular girl in high school but now a decade into her adult life, things aren’t going so well. Her friend and flatmate Vera dumps her to move in with her boyfriend, her horrible boss fires her from a job she despises anyway and she can’t even move in with her parents, because they want to renovate her old bedroom. So instead Marjorie has to find a new direction, moving in with a quirky new flatmate, dating an old high school friend, mentoring a young teen and looking for a new career.
This story, set during 2012 when President Obama was contesting his second term, centres around the concept that for some people, their high school days may actually be the best years of their lives. For twenty-something Marjorie, what happens when she starts failing at life? This is an interesting read that will resonate with many facing a similar transition.
