Adult Assembly Required

Laura Costello doesn't anticipate becoming homeless within a week when she relocates to Los Angeles in an attempt to get away from her overbearing relatives and the painful memories of an accident. (She is very certain that she did not spark the fire, right?) She also doesn't anticipate being taken in by a renegade bookseller, placed in a charming but strictly forbidden boarding home, or asked to save a losing trivia team from disgrace, but that's exactly what occurs. You can see why Laura isn't quite sure she's cut out for this adulting thing when you consider the remorseful landlord, the stunning roommate, and the ex-boyfriend who is keen to get back into the running. Fortunately for her, Impossibly Handsome Bob, Nina, and Polly, her new companions, aren't sure either. Perhaps if they pool their hearts and minds, however, they can sort it out for themselves.

From Abbi Waxman, USA Today bestselling author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, a young lady decides she doesn't need to leave everything behind after moving to Los Angeles with the intention of starting anew.
