Overview""Jennifer Marra has created her own story in a brilliant first novel ... It brings alive the atmosphere of the traveling circus that was the scene as well as the inner lives of her characters."" - Dennis McNally, Author of A Long Strange Trip In 1987, nobody called it ""adulting"" - but it sucked just the same. Samantha Ryan is a prodigy with a Columbia Engineering degree at nineteen and a coveted job at Bell Labs. But brilliance doesn't cure loneliness or silence the social anxiety that leaves her tongue-tied among older coworkers. Too proud to ask for help, she makes costly mistakes. Pushing the wrong button crashes hundreds of servers, earning her colleagues' wrath. Another blunder - mishandling floppy disks - corrupts vital data and threatens to derail her master's degree, a requirement for keeping her job. Desperate for escape, Sam turns to old comforts: Liz, her loyal roommate, and Nate, her mercurial ex, for a weekend away. The Grateful Dead are on tour, the drugs are plentiful, and Sam reconnects with Nate. But every high has a crash. By the weekend's end, Sam has lost both her boyfriend and her best friend. It's time she learned to engineer her own life - but can Sam rebuild before she self-destructs for good?
