Book of Interest: Down and Across

I know it's been a while since I've posted a Book of Interest and that's mainly because I hadn't found any books that interest me lately. Well, that's changed because I've recently found a lot books that I would like to read including this one, Down and Across by Arvin Ahmadi.

This seems like it will be an interesting story with a main character not being able to figure out what to do with his life while somehow winding up on an unexpected adventure. I'll add this to my wishlist with a note to buy soon because I really want to read this.

Book: Down and Across by Arvin Ahmadi

Description:

Scott Ferdowsi has a track record of quitting. His best friends know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but Scott can hardly commit to a breakfast cereal, let alone a passion. With college applications looming and his parents pushing him to settle on a “practical” career, Scott sneaks off to Washington, DC, seeking guidance from a famous psychologist who claims to know the secret to success.

He never expects an adventure to unfold. But that’s what Scott gets when he meets Fiora Buchanan, a ballsy college student whose life ambition is to write crossword puzzles. When the bicycle she lends him gets Scott into a high-speed chase, he knows he’s in for the ride of his life.

Soon, Scott finds himself sneaking into bars, attempting to pick up girls at the National Zoo, and even giving the crossword thing a try—all while opening his eyes to fundamental truths about who he is and who he wants to be.
