March in Line, Please

by Dan Bruton

In author Dan Bruton's debut novel, he delivers an entertaining perspective into a generation's struggles with prolonged adolescence and the awkward, humorous and sometimes embarrassing moments of entering adulthood. Twenty-seven-year old Ethan has it all: a beautiful girlfriend, a high paying job, and a trendy condo, along with the apathy he assumes is part of the American dream. However, when his girlfriend has had enough and moves across the country, he realizes his corporate life leads only to a dead end and embarks on a journey with the ultimate goal of winning her back. Along the way, between a strip-club brawl and being punched out by his younger sister, Ethan begins to learn who he really is-and that growing up sometimes means starting over.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very fun novella that sort of exemplifies today's generation--optimistic, but a little unsure where to go next.
