 p><em>About the author:</em></p>\n<p><strong>Carter Bays</strong>&nbsp\;is
  the co-creator of the Emmy-winning series&nbsp\;<em>How I Met Your Mother
 </em>. Originally from Shaker Heights\, he now lives in California with hi
 s wife and three children.&nbsp\;<em><strong>The Mutual Friend</strong></e
 m>&nbsp\;is his first novel.</p>\n<p>It&rsquo\;s the summer of 2015\, and 
 Alice Quick needs to get to work. She&rsquo\;s twenty-eight years old\, gr
 ieving her mother\, barely scraping by as a nanny\, and freshly kicked out
  of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for th
 e MCAT\, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor . . . but in
  the Age of Distraction\, the distractions are so&nbsp\;distracting. There
 &rsquo\;s her tech millionaire brother&rsquo\;s religious awakening. His p
 icture-perfect wife&rsquo\;s emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate
 &rsquo\;s thirst for adventure. And\, of course\, there&rsquo\;s the bigge
 st distraction of all: Love.<br />&nbsp\;<br />From within the story of on
 e summer in one woman&rsquo\;s life\, an epic tale is unearthed\, spanning
  continents and featuring a tapestry of characters tied to one another by 
 threads both seen and unseen. Filled with all the warmth\, humor\, and hea
 rt that gained&nbsp\;<em>How I Met Your Mother</em>&nbsp\;its cult followi
 ng\,&nbsp\;<em><strong>The Mutual Friend</strong></em>&nbsp\;captures in s
 parkling detail the chaos of contemporary life\, a life lived simultaneous
 ly in two different worlds&mdash\;the physical one and the one behind our
