From the beloved author of Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend comes a wonderful new novel about a struggling man, written entirely in lists.
Daniel Mayrock’s life is at a crossroads. He knows the following to be true:
1. He loves his wife Jill… more than anything.
2. He only regrets quitting his job and opening a bookshop a little (maybe more than a little)
3. Jill is ready to have a baby.
4. The bookshop isnt doing well. Financial crisis is imminent. Dan doesn’t know how to fix it.
5. Dan hasnt told Jill about their financial trouble.
6. Then Jill gets pregnant.
This heartfelt story is about the lengths one man will go to and the risks he will take to save his family. But Dan doesnt just want to save his failing bookstore and his familys finances:
1. Dan wants to do something special.
2. Hes a man who is tired of feeling ordinary.
3. Hes sick of feeling like a failure.
4. He doesn’t want to live in the shadow of his wifes deceased first husband.
Dan is also an obsessive list maker; his story unfolds entirely in his lists, which are brimming with Dans hilarious sense of humor, unique world-view, and deeply personal thoughts. When read in full, his lists paint a picture of a man struggling to be a man, a man who has reached a point where hes willing to do anything for the love (and soon-to-be new love) of his life.
