What to expect
When you're looking for love amid the mundane and the ridiculous, every day counts.
"[Brotzel is] a master storyteller and observer of people and relationships." —Christy Lefteri, author of
The Beekeeper of Aleppo
This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
Luke Milvaine is a drifting thirty-something stuck in a dead-end job with an even deader love life. But when an old school friend dies suddenly, they leave Luke with a cockapoo puppy and a bizarre challenge: to celebrate a different fake holiday every day for a year.
Shower with a Friend Day, Talk Like Shakespeare Day, National Burger Day . . .
What starts as a ridiculous stunt becomes a life-changing journey filled with strange encounters, surprising friendships, and the unexpected realization that love might be right under his nose. With humor, heart, and a dash of absurdity, Luke discovers that sometimes, the biggest adventure is learning to appreciate the little things and rethink what—and who—truly matter.
From the acclaimed author of
The Wolf in the Woods,
Thank You for the Days is an entertaining novel about finding meaning in the everyday and learning to live with purpose.
