Publisher's summary

At almost 30 years old, aspiring writer David Moore is living the unremarkable life he always equated with failure: instead of going on book tours and giving readings he's scraping to pay his bills; instead of meeting with producers and selling the movie rights to his breakout novel he's arguing with his girlfriend about whether they should get a dog. When an unexpected visit from his deadbeat dad upsets David's fragile financial balancing act, it sets in motion a series of domestic disagreements and ill-advised reactionary reprisals whose compounding repercussions threaten to unmake the tenuous structure of David's mundane life: the life that David, focused only on that life's disappointments, may not appreciate or fight to salvage until it's already too late....

The past does not define the future or does it!

This story follows the lives of a couple struggling to reach the middle American dream. It follows with a unique monkey brain narrative of the lead character and protagonist. You are swallowed into the day to day details of the monkey brain and in the beginning it feels overwhelming, and seems monotonous. Yet like a fine wine, I have found myself after finishing this book, as more time passes, so much more reflective of my own day to day thoughts and grateful for my own goals and progress in my life. This is a prescription of words for providing a context of our daily struggles in life.
