Publisher's Synopsis
After a post-college year abroad at Oxford, Sylvie moves to New York City to begin a life full of possibility. From new jobs to new friends to new kissing partners, her future is hers to create. But each exciting life she envisions is inevitably shadowed with potential disappointment: the stultifying temp job, the disastrous first date, the surprising and heartbreaking loss of friends, lovers, and roommates. In a modern world that is incresingly unforgiving, Sylvie and the friends she meets along the way test how far they will go to carve out unique and brilliant adult lives for themselves.
