It's the year 2000, and Kit is baffled to find herself divorced by Buster, her third ex-husband. How did all this failure and not-unfun havoc happen?
Living in Regina, Saskatchewan at the turn of the twenty-first century, Kit finds herself in the confusing aftermath of a third marriage, all the ex-husbands still amicably in her life. Her mother won't quit smoking through their Friday Classic Movie nights, her sons wander in and out looking for stuff, and her best friend Finkelstein wants help to capture Judas Squirrel somewhere in his eaves. Kit is trying to decide whether to quit her customer service job in a hardware store and simultaneously trying not to drink. More than anything, she wants to stop thinking about the infuriating Buster. After Buster is a bittersweet comic novel of family and romantic entanglement.
