James Burroughs is scared. It seems like only yesterday he was getting drunk, singing rude songs about women of questionable integrity and not giving the slightest damn about his job, his life or, heaven forbid, his future. How things have changed. Now he discusses the weather on a regular basis, crosses the road to avoid groups of two or more teenagers and has been in the same tedious job for all of his six post graduate years. His life is stagnating before his eyes...and so he decides to do something about it.

Join James in his hilarious bid to salvage his youth, a journey that takes in excruciating dates, Gloucestershire based music festivals, magic mushroom parties and mortifying embarrassments on the way to the sacred land of the young and the free.

In the circus that is the twenty-first century, a mid-twenties crisis is just another balancing act.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
