Alice Macleod Realist At Last

ALICE MACLEOD has officially graduated from the ranks of the weirdly marginal into the realm of the practically normal. Except for the fact that she’s just been abandoned by her boyfriend, Goose, and her tree hugger mom has been busted at an environmental protest and sent up to the Big House for two months, everything’s going just great. Thankfully, these misfortunes are giving Alice plenty of material for the screenplay she’s writing (populated by Very Attractive People), which is going to make her rich, famous and fabulous.
With the family finances squeezed even tighter than normal, Alice is forced to score not one but three part-time jobs, none particularly well suited to her eclectic but limited range of talents. The jobs do, however, introduce her to an interesting range of olderand youngerpotential new boyfriends.
