The Misadventures of a Life Less Lived

College junior Doug has built his entire collegiate experience around his "cool" life, maintaining such status by hiding his bookish tendencies and crush on "nerdy" Eliza from his frat brothers and cheerleader girlfriend. But when he wakes one morning to discover that his formerly refrigerated (because where else would one store a chill existence?) life has spoiled, panic ensues. As a high-ranking member of a popular fraternity, having no life is social suicide. He'll be ostracized, forgotten, and maybe even kicked out of the frat.

Desperate to remedy his lifeless status before anyone notices, Doug embarks upon a mission to replace it with a similar one. But finding a new life isn't quite as simple as going to the store, and he quickly discovers he's going to have to earn one by running a gauntlet of humbling, and often humiliating, life lessons. Though resistant, he may yet learn that his deceptions have never served him and life is, and ever will be, what he makes of it.

Full of clever metaphors and literary allusions, The Misadventures of a Life Less Lived is a quirky, thought-provoking debut featuring a snarky, often ridiculous satirical examination of what makes a fulfilled life.
