Maysen Anderson is your picture-perfect soon-to-be thirty year old, and she should be-seeing as how she's spent her entire life becoming the person that the world expected her to be. The only problem with this, is that it left no room for figuring out who she actually wants to be. On the eve of her thirtieth birthday following a full year of debate, she decides to quit her flashy career, leave her dreamy penthouse apartment, and break up with her objectively hot boyfriend. Now with a clean slate and refreshed perspective, Maysen is determined to figure out what's next.
Enter: Departure Roulette.
A fantasy that Maysen's had since childhood. One in which she'd go to the airport and randomly select a flight off of the departures board-going wherever it may take her. The first round lands her in Los Angeles, where she reconnects with former coworker (and former crush) Colin. Maysen believes it's fate that her first round of Departure Roulette has landed her in LA, and in Colin's guestroom of all places. As they spend time together the tension grows, poised to crescendo during a raucous night out at a divey surf bar near the Santa Monica Pier. But a chance encounter in the bathroom of the bar with Maysen's ex-best friend, Skylar Hayden-whom Maysen hasn't seen in more than a decade-has Maysen questioning everything.
Written for the modern-day woman that yearns for deeper meaning in their life and rejects the limitations imposed by societal expectations, Departure Roulette is an introspective and cheeky story that echoes with timely questions about navigating life outside of the lines, the complexities of relationships, reconciling with the past, the importance of following your gut, and finding the courage to redefine one's path.
