Boomerang (eBook)

$3.99

Cassie and her friends thought they’d left their boring, conservative hometown in upstate New York forever—their ambitions, high SAT scores, and college degrees were their ticket out. But after the 2008 stock market crash, the world looks a lot different, and these high-achievers find themselves back home in the summer of 2010, trying to figure out what they can salvage of the plans they’ve made for their futures. Cassie, for one, hopes it’s just temporary and that she’ll be off soon to adventures as a journalist in New York City. And yet, in the waiting, in the strange space between adulthood and youth, Cassie and her fellow grads find that the bonds they share and the places that made them might be exactly what they need to rebuild their dreams in unexpected ways.

With wry humor and smart social commentary, Caelyn Cobb assembles an ensemble cast of endearingly hapless twenty-somethings in Boomerang. Cassie and her friends navigate the unique tribulations of early adulthood in the 21st century, and Cobb’s writing is bright, sharply detailed, and timely. A deft, witty snapshot of life in suburbia that will no doubt be the first of many great publications from this author.
