The novelisation of a feature film (in the vein of Juno and Little Miss Sunshine) released in January 2010 about a recent college grad (Alexis Bledel, star of The Gilmore Girls and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) who moves back in with her eccentric family while she tries to meet the right guy and figure out what she wants to do next in her life.

A Pre-Life Crisis

Post Grad

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...

I just could not get into this book. Nothing exciting happened, the characters lacked a sense of being real and having any depth to them, and all in all it was very predictable. Usually the book is better than the movie, and if that is the case I will be skipping this movie!
