Overview

A story born where the wheels hit the pavement and the pen scribbles ink. Goldilocks is a tale of human endeavor-to stop waiting for the soup of life to taste juuuust right and instead engage here and now. Filled with moments of irony, juxtaposition, satire, and urgent rawness, the author drags you kicking and screaming through a post-college road trip around the western states. Sanity is grasped like straws, Vegas howls undead, the Mojave Desert speaks its wisdom, and the woods grow deep in Oregon. It's too hot, it's too cold-the odometer ticks up as juuuust right slips away at every turn.

A cerebral approach to life on the road . . . while the protagonist barely speaks to anyone on his journey, he still manages to generate plenty of vivid ruminations. - Kirkus Reviews This book sent me on a journey. A strange, visceral, starkly honest journey. It was the last thing I was expecting when I opened this book. - Jeff Daniel A completely distinct plot with its own set of laws and labels for drama and how it's executed. - PJ The ones who do take off with [the author] will definitely ask themselves some uncomfortable questions, and hopefully, find liberating answers. - Lili Bokan Loved every second of it and was genuinely sad to see the last page as I didn't want it to end. - Yoanna A beautiful blend of colloquialism, relatable universal truths, and stream of consciousness. - Dinah Emmons
