Summer 1983. A summer internship in New York was meant to be everything Beth wanted. But from the moment she arrives in the city she feels wrong: wrong hair, terrible clothes, defective smile, too obviously a virgin. Sharing a hot, cockroach-filled apartment with a couple falling out of love completes the dream picture. Then she meets her fellow interns: ambitious out-of-towner Dan, preppy rich boy Oliver, and Edie — a beautiful, brittle, magnetic, instant best friend. Irresistible people are like gravity. You can’t help being pulled towards them — can you?","brand":"Meg Rosoff","offers":[{"title":"Tundra Book Group |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-05-30","offer_id":44150879846655,"sku":"9781774881101","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_6997c170-2751-4478-940f-caf50765a82b.jpg?v=1682039916","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781774881101","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
