Roger is a middle-aged and divorced "aisles associate" at a Staples outlet. His co-worker Bethany is facing fifty more years of shelving Post-it notes. Then Bethany discovers Roger"s notebook and finds that he"s writing diary entries pretending to be her - and weirdly, he"s getting it right. Bethany and Roger strike up a secret correspondence, and as it unfolds so too do the characters of Roger"s work-in-progress, Glove Pond, a Cheever-era novella gone horribly, horribly wrong.
