“When did I become an adult with adult problems?”

What Do You Say to the DJ? is the new novelization by Andrew Marx and Dara Shifrer that asks the important questions of life.

* “Do you mind that we talk over the TV?”
* “What have I been doing the last eight years?”
* “Is this what old age is like?”
* “That is the theme of your life, right?”
* “Have you turned the faucet off all the way?”

What Do You Say to the DJ? is the new book by Andrew Marx and Dara Shifrer that details their personal journeys to adulthood in their own words. Full of snarky one-liners, hysterical anecdotes and some genuine, occasionally heartfelt, advice, the authors take turns telling their stories (and, um, a few others’) offering a frank and indelicate analysis of the situation. The authors report on the good and bad of the different relationships that make up their so-called adult lives; a sister doing a grand thing for love, a good romance that doesn’t take work, a friend stuck in the perception that it’s 1999, and one ex after another ex after another ex.

Both authors bring a fresh perspective to love and friendship searching for whatever truth they can hold on to as their lives keep moving forward with or without their permission. In e-mail exchanges that unfold their lives over the course of three years, the authors explore so many issues faced by all twenty-somethings, from love and broken hearts to the crazy of friendship and family, the challenge of choosing the right career and the struggle to find your path through life. Andrew never has a relationship that isn’t over before it begins (“There hasn’t been a lot of ‘dating,’ just a lot of dates.”) Dara has an on-again, off-again relationship with one guy (“It was so immediately apparent that we fit well – we regularly marveled at it mid-date.”) Throughout it all, live music, humor and friendship are constant sources of strength, keeping them on the right track towards becoming bonafide, no-two-ways-about-it adults.

In that moment when adulthood is still just around the corner, or down the street, or across state lines or launched into space and orbiting your life, how do you deal with the stress of dating and relationships, the struggle to pay bills and hold down a job and all of the little things in life that pile on top? What Do You Say to the DJ? offers a point of view that will resonate with you long after you put the book down.
