Trapped in a safe but unfulfilling office job, his career is thriving, his relationship is stable, and a future with a house and children seems inevitable. On the surface, it's the perfect life-but deep down, Hugs feels the clock ticking. He never wanted any it and with each passing day he's pulled further from his real dream-of being a writer.
When frustration boils over, Hugs makes a daring choice: he's ready to risk it all-his job, his relationship, and even his sanity-to finally chase the dream he's been running from.
The Jacket Trick is a compelling story about holding onto your passions in a world that demands compromise. It's about creative frustration, midlife crises, the absurdities of office life, and the messy, chaotic beauty of chasing something real. Oh, and yes-it's also about sex.
