"Most people hope for happy endings. For Warren, a gay divorcee, that means getting his stuff back; most importantly, his windbreaker, his sneakers, and his John Denver CD. And then there's Warren's assortment of friends: Susan, a Percocet-fuelled divorce lawyer whose daughters are giving her a hard time; Tarot-reading Aaron, who is dating Susan and who used to be Erin; Mike, an alcoholic who sometimes sees his son on Saturdays; and Kevin, Mike's son. Observing and directing all of their lives is the human will - or Will, as he prefers to be called - who doesn't quite believe in those happy endings. This Is What Happens Next is an intensely relatable multi-character story that explores the anguish of addiction and divorce as it delves into the fundamentals of human desire and asks the philosophical question, 'What happens next?'"--Page [4] of cover.
