Dustin Graves is a hardworking dad, obsessed with anime figures and fantasy games that don't exist yet, trying to survive adulthood without completely losing his mind. His wife, Catherine Bautista, has ADHD, a sharp tongue, and a knack for keeping Dustin-and their chaotic household-somewhat in check. Together with their clever, mischievous 11-year-old daughter, Remi, they juggle parenting, jobs, and the endless absurdities of life... most of which involve their friends.
Ryan, Tobey, and Billy are Dustin's high school homies-married, estranged, or somehow turned redneck-and their constant interference turns ordinary days into disaster zones. Meanwhile, Catherine's circle of friends, including a gossip-happy party planner, a motor-mouthed chaos magnet, and a former classmate who always shows up at the worst times, ensures that nothing stays normal for long.
From high school reunions gone wrong to gaming obsessions that threaten to destroy the living room, Almost There (Half-Assed) is a hilarious, irreverent web novel about growing up... without ever really growing up. Life is messy, adulting is half-assed, and chaos is mandatory.
