Mona is a Millennial perfectionist who fails upwards inthe midst of the 2008 economic crisis. Despite her potential, and her top- of-her-class college degree, Mona finds herself unemployed, living with her parents, and adrift in life and love. Mona's the sort who says exactly the right thing at absolutely thewrong moments, seeing the world through a cynic's eyes. In the financial and social malaise of the early 2000s, Mona walks a knife's edge as she faces down unemployment, underemployment, the complexities of adult relationships, and the downward spiral ofher parents' shattering marriage. The more Mona craves perfection and order, the more she is forced to see that it is never attainable. Mona's journey asks the question: When we find what gives our life meaning, will we be ready for it?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Unemployed $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010415.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722065025.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85724766EAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
