Mark thinks he has found The One in college. When Raquel abruptly takes off for Los Angeles to become a rock star, Mark tries to be happy for her–until ROCK-L's first single sweeps the airwaves–a song about Mark's stamina entitled "Two Minute Man." And Mark's life is never the same again.
Philippa doesn't really think twice about cheating on her punk rocker boyfriend, Trevor. After all, she's going to break up with him anyway. He mooches off her, treats her badly, and writes stupid songs about her breasts. Then Trevor's band makes a splash with its one and only song sensation, "Philippa Cheats." And suddenly Philippa is the most infamous ex-girlfriend in all of London.
Thus Philippa and Mark find themselves adrift, both single and living in Boston, still reeling from the impact that three minutes of music had on their lives. When these two minor-key souls meet and form a major chord, they will have to overcome the sneaking suspicion that each will betray the other . . . possibly with a song.
"Brendan Halpin adds weight to his funny moments and lightness to his sad ones . . . [reminding] us that comedy and tragedy aren't opposites at all."
–Carolyn Parkhurst, author of The Dogs of Babel, on Donorboy
"The author's greatest gift: his pitch-perfect ear for dialogue."
–People, on Long Way Back

Dear Catastrophe Waitress
"Dear Catastrophe Waitress" is exactly the type of book I have been looking for! Not only did I have trouble putting it down, but it is about characters in their 20's! YAY! Maybe I just haven't been searching hard enough, but I have been having a difficult time finding books with characters in their 20s.
Here are some real reasons to read the book. I loved the two main characters. Yes they had their problems, but they were realistic. It's the story of two people just trying to find their way in a cruel world. Yes this book deals with serious issues, but it is also really funny. One of the main characters actually dresses in a purple suit and sings songs about poop to children, which sounds completely juvenile, but it ends up being a cute addition to the story. I like when characters don't take themselves too seriously!
