Postgrad written by Emily Cassel performed by Iiyana Kadushin on CD (Unabridged)

What happens when your life doesn't go according to plan?

Ryden Malby had a plan. Step One: do well in high school, thereby achieving Step Two: get a kick-butt college scholarship. Step Three - limit her beer pong in order to keep said scholarship - which wasn't always easy. Now that she's finally graduated, it's time for Step Four: moving to LA to land her dream job at the city's best publishing house. So far, Ryden's three-for-three, but she's about to stumble on Step Four....

When Jessica Bard, Ryden's college nemesis - the prettiest, smartest, most ambitious girl at school - steals her perfect job, Ryden's forced to move back to her childhood home in the Valley. Stuck with her eccentric family - a karate-obsessed dad, a politically incorrect grandma, a spoiled-brat little brother - and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden starts to feel like she's going nowhere. The only upside is spending time with her best friend Adam - and running into her hot next-door neighbor David. But if Ryden's going to survive life as a post-grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan....
