"There's a difference between writing that's fictional and writing that's false."

These were not the parting words Eva Kramer wanted to hear from her senior year English teacher. But simple truths have an annoying habit of being right. As an aspiring writer, Eva makes a decision: to finally live a life worth writing about.

But identity revisions are hardly easy, and she's not alone. There's her sister's endless supply of self-help mantras and meditation exercises; her best friends, who are wading through their own cruel minimum-wage jobs; and a series of flawed romances ranging from rockers to writers to older guys with motorcycles. Sticking to her motto of "Walk Through Every Open Door" involves awkward jobs, bad parties, relationship disasters, and a thousand shades of heartache and confusion. How else can she write what she knows, and have that mean anything?
