Blake Turner's career started off with a bang when he was just a tween, but now he's just a mostly working actor kept afloat with regular, substantial residual checks. Rory, his wife, freelances as a stylist for photo shoots. When Blake's latest "big break" falls through, Rory must take a job at a start-up run by twenty-somethings and learn the new buzz words that make up their conversations. Between caring for their two children, trying to bolster up Blake's self-esteem and reasoning with two bosses who are clearly unsuited for leadership, Rory's hands are full.
McLaughlin and Kraus, authors of the Nanny Diaries, have written a funny and sometimes poignant story of a woman faced with a changing world. Longevity and experience are discarded in favor of youth and bad behavior. Quick, fun read.
