"Isn t It Pretty To Think So?" is a contemporary, coming-of-age
tale by first-time novelist Nick Miller. Set in Los Angeles, the
novel follows Jake Reed, a world-weary recent college graduate
struggling to find use for his liberal arts degree amidst a waning
workforce. He eventually lands a job in real estates as a "Social
Media Manager," a role that requires the mindless pursuit of likes,
tweets, and hits. After a death in the family and a surprise
inheritance, Jake quits his job and meanders through lonely hotel
rooms, quiet beach towns, and then, in a dramatic shift, stations
himself in West Hollywood where disillusioned twenty-somethings
lose themselves in the madness of drugs and sex. It is here that
the only proof of memories is found in filtered photographs posted
online from the night before. Miller captures the angst,
restlessness, and spirit of the Millennial Generation a group
mindlessly charging through the recession during a time when the
line between existence in the physical and digital world is
blurred. The novel provides a fascinating, grim, and often times
humorous portrayal of the lifestyle that represents our
contemporary youth.
