    Summary

    Pete is a freshly qualified attorney working for Chicago’s Public Defender’s Office, a job he's done for six months and already thinks he might be starting to hate. Defending thieves, meth heads and weekend drunks isn't exactly changing the city for the better. Patrick Vaughn is an eighteen year old petty thief and troublemaker who crosses his path quite by chance one November morning. A fleeting and mostly inconsequential meeting, they don't even exchange a single word.

    So why does Patrick goddamn Vaughn keep showing up at the most inopportune moments? Why can't Pete get the kid out of his head? Why doesn't “inappropriate conduct” seem to be enough to stop him…

    Like Romeo and Juliet if Romeo were an idiot and Juliet had the foulest mouth this side of Lake Michigan.

    Summary

    If you don't get it right the first time, try again.

     

    The book in three sentences: A beach house, a shitty apartment in Cambridge, and a nice apartment in South End Boston. After synchronous breakups, Pete and Patrick meet though a naive Gabe, but a job offer, a pair of well-meaning-but-suspicious boyfriends, and a pretentious book aren’t making things easy.
    It’s story about a music journalist fresh out of college and a corporate lawyer falling in and out of love, in which navigating young adulthood is just as complicated as it seems.

    Goddamn, man-child.
