Opis

At twenty-eight, Brent seems to have it all. The job, the pad, the clothes, the hairless back. Everything but the lady of his dreams - Piper, a spirited coworker with a knack for mixing outrageous banter with worldly insights. The problem - Piper's BFF is Carnie, a fellow coworker who happens to be Brent's ex. Although Brent dumped Carnie ages ago, she refuses to move on and secretly stalks him. To further complicate things, Piper has unwittingly become Carnie's confidante in her ongoing quest to win Brent back. Yep, trading up won't be easy. But Brent's feelings can't be denied. As his obsession intensifies, so too does Carnie's ploy to thwart his inevitable mission. Rather than deal with the situation head on, Brent tailspins into a world of crappy dates, gratuitous parties, and peculiar dog fetishes. One epochal afternoon, however, Brent decides he's had enough. In a heartfelt yet comedic apex, Brent confronts the women and drills home an underlying message - that true happiness can only be found through honesty, with both yourself and others. THE EX AND THE WHY is an offbeat novel that explores the thrilling freedoms and paralyzing self-doubts that can define one's twenties. With a big-city, consulting-firm backdrop, it appeals to the millions worldwide who have worked at such firms as well as young adults navigating their first post-college jobs. It includes elements that resonate with both men (gross-out) and women (romance and bitchiness).
