Summer of excess.

Abstract

On graduation day in May 2013, Olivia "Liv" Grigsby and her three friends have a rowdy night that endangers Liv's pot operation. The friends help to keep one another in good spirits as they encounter unexpected opportunities and problems over the next few weeks: Charlie enters the porn industry, Merrick can't find a job after receiving her Master's, and Delaney is arrested for graffiti. When Liv's father dies, the friends come together and face their predicaments head on as they encounter the excess of their past, handle the trials of the present, and work towards securing their future. The novel works to capture the dialect and hectic lives of the four Oklahoma women. It depicts true bliss as well as escalated anxiety as the friends recklessly help one another sort out their relationships and solve the impending issues of their careers.
