A gorgeous excitement : a novel / Cynthia Weiner.

Weiner, Cynthia, (author.).

Summary:

"The summer of 1986 in New York City starts off with a model's face getting slashed after rejecting her landlord's advances. It ends with a young woman's half naked body discovered in Central Park, murdered after a night of 'rough sex.' Nina Jacobs is 18, working a series of boring temp jobs, trying to lose her virginity before she leaves for college at the end of the summer, while also trying to stay out of the way of her mother, who spends her days in bed or criticizing Nina, or often both. And developing a burgeoning cocaine habit. Could the magnetic IT boy from the bar they hang out at that caters to the Upper East Side private school rich kid set, be the one who can help her achieve both her goals this summer?"-- Provided by publisher.
