Jane has been working on her second novel for a decade, and a sabbatical and a stint househunting at a fancy friend's LA house is the perfect place to finish. She has grand ambitions about what her new novel will bring: success, acclaim, financial stability, a permanent spot in her coveted neighborhood. Except the finished product is met with a not very enthusiastic response by her agent and editor. Her novel was a sprawling epic about what it means to be biracial in America. Jane then turns to her friend's television agent and pins her hopes on a possible collaboration with a producer who is the "next big thing", to produce the "great mulatto comedy" -- an untapped audience ready to explode.

Like her career, Jane's marriage to her artist husband has also seen better days. Stimied by her circumstances, Jane makes some questionable choices. You can feel the reckoning coming, even as you root for Jane to get out of the hole she's dug for herself. This was sharp and sometimes funny. There were a couple of developments at the end that seemed underdeveloped and out of place, but I enjoyed it overall.
