    About this audiobook

    What happens when your life doesn't go according to plan?



    Ryden Malby had a plan. Step One: do well in high school, thereby achieving Step Two: get a kick-butt college scholarship. Step Three – limit her beer pong in order to keep said scholarship – wasn't always easy. Now that she's finally graduated, it's time for Step Four: moving to LA to land her dream job at the city's best publishing house. So far, Ryden's three-for-three, but she's about to stumble on Step Four….



    When Jessica Bard, Ryden's college nemesis—the prettiest, smartest, most ambitious girl at school—steals her perfect job, Ryden's forced to move back to her childhood home in the Valley. Stuck with her eccentric family – a karate-obsessed dad, a politically incorrect grandma, a spoiled-brat little brother – and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she's going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend Adam—and running into her hot next-door neighbor David. But if Ryden's going to survive life as a post-grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan…

      This book made me feel better about my book reviews. Why? Because as I was reading, I couldn't help but think that this novel seemed like it was written just to be made into a movie. Yes, of course, I did notice that the cover sported an actress and that it was soon to be a movie, but that's not unusual if the book was a reprint and a movie tie-in.

      It wasn't until I had a few chapters left that I noted: based on the screenplay. Ha!

      The story of Ryden is cute and lightweight. It has an ensemble of wacky characters who behave in an off-beat manner and seem to have no deep emotions tied to their actions. If you're looking for a book to read while lazing on the beach and don't mind too much in-your-face-ness (think extreme movie cuteness and zaniness, not book level cute and zany) about it, this would suit. Just don't expect much more than that.

      I laughed and laughed - quite surprisingly really since I thought I was getting the DVD with Rory Gilmore, not a book... but when the grandmother started walking around with her label maker, deciding who was going to get what when she died - I lost it. My grandmother did the same thing but with sticky notes.

      I needed a laugh today. It's probably not as good as I think it is right now but it was just what the doctor ordered.

      Its the most important moment in your life and your best friend is by your side. Unfortunately your family are creating an embarrassing sceptical of themselves, just at the moment you are taking the stage to accept your diploma. Why couldn't they have forgotten all about this and just stayed at home...?When Ryden was very young she had come up with "the Plan". It was a simple plan, do well in high school, get collage scholarship, and try not to get too drunk too often. So far in her life everything had gone according to that plan. Until the moment she was about to complete step four, and get everything she thought she wanted.The last and most important part of "the Plan" had been to land her dream job. Unfortunately for Ryden this was the one thing she had no control over. Interview after interview had been one disaster after another. Ryden now found herself broke, unemployed and moving back in with her family.Post Grad is not just about what happens after collage but is about life, love and figuring out what it is that you really want. There are some very funny moments, as well as some very cringe-worthy moments, and overall it's not a bad book. However it is somewhat clichéd so expect your typical Hollywood ending.
