by Eleanor Ringel Gillespie

TO SUM UP
A waiter for four years since high school, Dean has never questioned his job at Shenanigan's, a generic chain restaurant. But when he learns that a high school classmate now has a lucrative career in electrical engineering, he's thrown into turmoil about his dead-end life. Dean's friend Monty is in exactly the same boat, but he couldn't care less.
