About the Book
|
Haze and his friends are new adult bachelors in San Francisco with a social life full of hilarious shenanigans. Despite their antics, his friends develop careers and romantic relationships while Haze struggles to find his place. One day, he feels overwhelmed, so he ditches work and watches Star Wars movies all day. He gets out of his funk after meeting a champagne-loving, athletic farm girl named Alex at the BottleRock music festival in Napa. Alex challenges Haze to a few hiking excursions in the northern California mountains, where he nearly wimps out of their relationship and returns to his bad habits, but instead, he has an epiphany and figures out a goal in life – to become a dad.
He fails to find a connection with his plain-vanilla parents. At the same time, he develops a relationship with Alex’s admirable father, Rick, who offers him a job with their family's walnut farming business in Capay Valley. After Haze and Alex return from a summer of travel to rambunctious weddings and reunions, he finally steps up, experiences walnut harvest first-hand, agrees to Rick’s job offer, and proposes to her. After they wed, they go to Belize for an adventurous honeymoon, where he realizes how far he has come personally, but he still has questions about his path in life.
Most of my story takes place in Northern California. The characters in Quarter Life are fun-loving sports fans, music aficionados, CrossFit athletes, avid snow skiers, and mediocre golfers. They get inspiration from the California outdoors and admire California food, wine, beer, and weed.
