Specifically: she writes letters to her hapless, rent-avoidant ex-boyfriendand current roommateEverett. This charming and funny twenty-something is under-employed (and under-romanced), and she's decidedly fed up with the indignities she endures as a deli maid at Whole Foods (the original), and the dismaying speed at which her beloved Austin is becoming corporatized. When a new Lululemon pops up at the intersection of Sixth and Lamar where the old Waterloo Video used to be, Roxy can stay silent no longer. As her letters to Everett become less about overdue rent and more about the state of her life, Roxy realizes she's ready to be the heroine of her own story. She decides to team up with her two best friends to save Austinand rescue Roxy's love lifein whatever way they can. But can this spunky, unforgettable millennial keep Austin weird, avoid arrest, and find romanceand even creative inspirationin the process?
