Amys profound isolation colors everything: her job, her aspirations, even her interactions with the woman at the deli counter. And as the date for the EMT exam comes closer, Amys anxiety ratchets up in a way that is both familiar and troubling. In desperation, she concocts a placebo programa self-prescribed regimen for her confidence, devised to trick herself into succeeding.
When her landlord, Gary, starts to invite her over for dinnerto practice his cooking skills as he awaits approval of his Ukrainian fiancs visaAmy makes her first friend since her mothers passing.Alongside this unexpected connection comes a surge of hopeful obsession that Amy knows she must reckon with before the summers end.

Kelly McClorey captures the hilarity and heartbreak of American ambition.
