Alba has a tedious job, a nonexistent love life, and dreams of someday achieving professional and personal fulfillment. One day she meets Joe, the man of her dreams, and believes she is on the path to true love. But things go terribly wrong when Joe meets Sue Ann Miller, Alba's sexy, blond, and beautiful roommate. Then Alba suffers a string of bad dates, and her job becomes a nightmare under the supervision of Ted "Toady," her tyrannical boss. Reflecting on experiences of her childhood and teen years, Alba realizes she has played the role of doormat far too long and needs to take charge of her life if she is ever to attain the happiness she seeks. Set in Los Angeles of the early 1980s, this novel is a page-turning, humorous, sensitive, coming-of-age story.
