Touch and Go
|
Darcy McManus is 28 going on 15, and he has it all: a great circle of friends, good looks and charm to spare, and a carefree summer job as a tour guide. But it’s all coming to an end. His best friends are moving on to real-life careers, he’s noticing his first gray hairs, and his tour business is going under. To make matters worse, Darcy’s long-buried infatuation with his best friend Lynn threatens to destroy the circle of friends. With time running out on his perpetual adolescence, Darcy tries desperately to fight the onset of adulthood and avoid taking the risks he needs to grow up. Through an unpredictable series of events, he inadvertently hurts those he holds most dear, but finally confronts the truth about life and about himself.
