Passion project : a novel / London Sperry.

Sperry, London, (author.).

Summary:

"A compassionate and hopeful romantic comedy, Passion Project is a reminder that love is waiting for us to let it in. If your twenties are supposed to be the best years of your life, Bennet Taylor is failing miserably . . . with a big emphasis on the miserable. Where's that zest she keeps hearing about? She's a temp worker in New York City with no direction, no future, and no social life. And at the painful center of this listlessness is grief over the death of her first love. When Bennet runs into Henry Adams just hours after standing him up for a first date, she makes an alcohol-fueled confession: She's not ready to date. In fact, it's been years since she felt passion for something. Not even pottery, or organized sports--not anything. Rather than leaving her to ruminate, Henry jumps at the opportunity for adventure: Bennet needs to find a passion for life, and Henry will help her find it. Every Saturday, they'll try something new in New York City. As friends, of course. As their "passion project" continues, the pair tackle everything from carpentry to tattooing to rappelling off skyscrapers, and Bennet feels her guarded exterior ebbing away. But as secrets surface, Bennet has to decide what she wants, and if she's truly ready to move on. With emotional resonance and sparkling banter, Passion Project is a fun, flirty, thoughtful story of finding a spark--and igniting happiness"-- Provided by publisher.
