Soon Jane is swept off her feet by an older man and into a Fitzgeraldesque whirl of cocktail parties, country houses, and rules that were made to be broken, but comes to realize that it's a world where the stakes are much too high for comfort. With an unforgettable comic touch, Bank skillfully teases out universal issues, puts a clever new spin on the mating dance, and captures in perfect pitch what it's like to come of age as a young woman.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelissa Bank\u003c\/b\u003e (1960-2022) was the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wonder Spot\u003c\/i\u003e, which have been translated into thirty languages.
