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?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMEG ROSOFF\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in a suburb of Boston and moved to London in 1989.
