When Brooklyn Winters graduates from university, she thinks that her adult life will “just kind of figure itself out.”

SPOILER ALERT: this doesn’t happen.

Six weeks after graduation, she has no job, no money, and is frantically calling her best friend to come and rescue her from the basement suite she has unwisely moved into with her dud of a boyfriend.

After a messy end to that relationship, Brooklyn is forced to enter this “real world” that everyone keeps sarcastically welcoming her to. She applies for, and is asked to do, jobs for which she is unqualified, struggles to find an affordable apartment in Vancouver’s expensive housing market, and navigates the world of modern dating, both online and in real life, with all of its “fuckboys,” “ghosters,” and “gaslighters.”

“Confessions of a New Grad” is similar in style to an audio book, but has been written for the ear and incorporates a carefully curated soundtrack of independent musicians.
