<h2>IN 2019 WE ALL NEED . . . REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL</h2>
______________________________________

It is 1980. Lizzie Vogel is eighteen and about to learn some vital lessons about adult life:

1. How to deal with your boss
(when he is a racist, sexist, slightly incompetent dentist who is obsessed with joining the freemasons)

2. How to live alone
(when your first flat comes with the job but the boss insists on using your toilet)

3. How to seduce your first boyfriend
(when he might prefer birdwatching and you must wear socks and sandals due to a case of recurring athlete's foot)

Will Lizzie become an independent woman or will she be forced to return home to her alcoholic,
novel-writing mother (which might actually be the better option after all)?
