"[A]┬аhumorous, deeply human coming-of-age story."┬атАФThe Washington Post
Scott Ferdowsi has a track record of quitting.┬аHis best friends know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but Scott can hardly commit to a breakfast cereal, let alone a passion. With college applications looming and his parents pushing him to settle on a тАЬpracticalтАЭ career, Scott sneaks off to Washington, DC, seeking guidance from a famous psychologist who claims to know the secret to success.
┬а
He never expects an adventure to unfold. But thatтАЩs what Scott gets when he meets Fiora Buchanan, a ballsy college student whose life ambition is to write crossword puzzles.┬аWhen the bicycle she lends him gets Scott into a high-speed chase, he knows heтАЩs in for the ride of his life.
┬а
Soon, Scott finds himself sneaking into bars, attempting to pick up girls at the National Zoo, and even giving the crossword thing a tryтАФall while opening his eyes to fundamental truths about who he is and who he wants to be.
