Product Description

Winner of the St. Martin's Press "New Adult" contest

Twenty-Somewhere tells the story of three best friends as they navigate life after college. Beautiful and confident Sophie Lin, goody goody aspiring writer Claudia Bradford, and boy-crazy nerd MJ Alexander are ready to take on the Real World -- or so they think.

But MJ's hunky lab supervisor keeps distracting her from her research, and what's worse, she almost doesn't care. After years of single-minded focus, MJ may have lost her passion for science, and her sense of self along with it. Meanwhile Claudia's passion for writing is stronger than ever, but her confidence is drowning in a sea of rejection. Her boyfriend Eli is supposed to be a life preserver; instead he feels like just another wave pulling her under. Last but not least, Sophie decides to swim against the current: she quits her advertising job in pursuit of a more meaningful vocation. Six weeks later, all she has to show for her idealism is a growing stack of unpaid bills.

As their relationships go sour, their careers sputter, and a few too many ethical dilemmas arise, the girls reunite in Paris, desperate for a dose of the one thing they can always count on: each other. But after so much time apart, will that really cure what ails them? Or will their friendship fall apart like everything else in their lives?

Originally written as a web series, Twenty-Somewhere is complete at 40 episodes. Think Sex and the City meets Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your average coming-of-age, April 24, 2011
This review is from: Twenty-Somewhere (Kindle Edition)
I've read entirely too many coming-of-age novels lately because I went into this one interested, but feeling like I'd read it all... yeah, not so much. This is more than a teenage girl finding herself, more than a the average 18-year-old finding himself. It's about a group of up-and-coming 20-somethings who help each other find themselves through love, laughter and fun.

The start of the book is a little rough. It takes a while to get used to the "episodes" and it felt a little disjointed at first. I started out thinking it really could have used an overhaul to truly be successful as a novel. It also felt too short in places, but I usually feel that way about airy reads such as this.

Having said that, this was a breath of fresh air. It was an easy read, the characters were all strongly written and the plot was well thought-out. I found myself alternatively loving and hating the characters, but always coming back to how real they felt. I didn't always agree with all of their decisions and directions, but it always made me smile.

I recommend this chicklit book for those who want an easy read and a few smiles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick read, perfect for the beach. Inspires change., May 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twenty-Somewhere (Kindle Edition)
While this book is rather short, I'd love to see it expanded! The characters are engaging and the issues they deal with (life in general) are something we can all relate to. I read this and thought, this is the perfect beach read. It just feels like a summer book! My niece is going to read it next, she is 17 and I think that Twenty-Somewhere would be perfect for her with all the changes she has coming. It also inspired me to look at my own life a bit and think it could use some focus.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very fast read!, August 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Twenty-Somewhere (Kindle Edition)
This book may appeal to young people with very short attention spans! It flits around between the three characters, sometimes so quickly that it's annoying. Very trite story lines and simple dialogue. But I think young (as in high school maybe) readers may enjoy it. I read the whole book in under four hours while on the beach. So while I was enjoying my time, the book wasn't all that great!

When youre in your twenties, life is all about proving yourself. At your job, in your relationship, to your family. Youre transitioning out of school, in many cases out of the home you grew up in. Your shelter is gone. You may or may not still have a safety net, but you want to feel independent. You want to make it on your own. &quote;

But the best stories arent about people who successfully elude these challenges. Theyre about people who meet them head-on, who face lifes tests with determination and optimism, who are not afraid to lose in the short-term so that they can succeed in the long run. &quote;
