The Skunks is an allegorical romp through new adulthood, following a recent college graduate over a leisurely hometown summer, during which various skunk sightings serve as oracular highlights.  Armed only with an anthropology degree, Isabel attempts to find meaning in life as she splits her time between housesitting, babysitting, and yoga studio front desk sitting.  She is sophisticated and never thinks about boys *wink*.  I just loved this earnest, dreamy, mirror of a novel.
