Living at home is driving Casey crazy. She's stuck in Seattle with no job, no money for college, and a goth-ass sister who's marrying a Boeing tech boyfriend and getting her own place, leaving Casey alone with her shut-in mom. If only Casey could get out of the house and into the world. A boyfriend, a new bestie--anything to feel like life's started post-diploma.

Add in a series of unfortunate characters and unlikely events and suddenly things are happening faster than Casey's ready for. Isn't that the way it always is?
