"Itā€™s vulgar in the best way, Itā€™s irreverent. Itā€™s honest even when thatā€™s ugly. I was laughing out loud within minutes. I havenā€™t been this moved by a novel in a long while. The characters are not perfectā€”they make dumb decisions, they (screw) up, they hurt each otherā€”and I just might like them more for that. They are all achingly real.ā€ ā€”Weaver Review

Sex. Commitment. The Fate Of The World Economy. Itā€™s December, 1993ā€”a pivotal moment in human historyā€”and these are the things hijacking Billy Gerrickā€™s brain.

The Wall Street Journal calls him ā€œThe best thing to happen to international trade since the boat.ā€ The President praises him as: ā€œA great American.ā€ His brilliant, beautiful, well-connected girlfriend thinks heā€™s the kindest, most generous man alive.

Only Billy Gerrick knows the truthā€¦heā€™s a ticking time bomb. An overachieving bundle of fear, denial, and desire who has held it together for three-plus decades by sheer will.

Now, on the eve of finalizing the most comprehensive, far-reaching global agreement ever proposed, Billy Gerrick is forced to confront a past heā€™d rather forgetā€”the painful childhood, the embarrassing failures, the impressive string of romantic flameoutsā€”when his perfect fiancĆ©e chooses this historic moment to pressure him about settling down, getting married, and having kids. But if Billy Gerrick knows anything, itā€™s that heā€™s the last person on earth that should be in charge of raising a child.

Edward Savioā€™s return to mainstream adult fiction takes us on a hilarious, unbridled, unapologetic journey to find love, understanding, and redemption through the eyes of a flawed hero who is part Holden Caulfield, part Alexander Portnoy, part Sun Tzu all rolled into one.

A relentless, raw, surprisingly poignant exploration of the turning point we all must face: Finally coming to terms with growing up.
