Effie Taylor is stuck. 

She did her four years at a liberal arts college, coming out on the other side with two degrees and no prospective career, not even an internship. Rather than going upward and onward, she goes backward, moving in with her parents again and returning to her seasonal waitressing job, still trying to achieve her combination of goal and dream to write her own novel. 

Which isn't as easy as it sounds. Effie's not only stuck in her hometown, she's stuck with her current project, too. She's never written anything over twenty thousand words - though knows she can - and every time she tries the idea dries up around forty thousand, leaving her with a case of writer's block from hell. Effie figures she'd be okay on the romance front if, perhaps, she could get her own romance in line.

But Effie doesn't know what she wants, or who she wants what with. Afraid of commitment, Effie can't help but stay waffling in the middle, wondering if she'll find something as good as the relationship she once had, while wondering if there's something more - not necessarily better - out there for her. So she's a waitress in love, just with who, exactly, is still up for debate.All Rights Reserved
