Summary
It's the summer of 2015, and Alice Quick needs to get to work. She's 28 years old, grieving her mother, barely scraping by as a nanny and freshly kicked out of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for the MCAT, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor but in the age of distraction, the distractions are so distracting. There's her tech millionaire brother's religious awakening. His picture-perfect wife's emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate's thirst for adventure. And, of course, there's the biggest distraction of all: love. From within the story of one summer in one woman's life, an epic tale is unearthed, spanning continents and featuring a tapestry of characters tied to one another by threads both seen and unseen. This story captures in sparkling detail the chaos of contemporary life, a life lived simultaneously in two different worlds - the physical one and the one behind our screens - and reveals how connected we all truly are
