Aprašymas

A taut and lyrical coming-of-age debut about a young American woman navigating class, lies, and love amid London's jet-set elite.

"Languid, escapist, romantic, and just so fun to read...Jane Austen would be proud." - Vanessa Chan, internationally bestselling author of The Storm We Made

I would arrive, blank like a sheet of notebook paper, and write myself new.

Anna first fell in love with London at the library--its Jane Austen balls a far cry from her life of food stamps and hand-me-downs. But when she finally arrives after college, the real London is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind--that fairy-tale life still out of reach.

Then Anna meets the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. Swept up by the sphinx-like elder sister, Anna soon finds herself plunged into a heady whirlpool of parties and excess, a place where confidence is a birthright. There she meets two handsome young men--one who wants to whisk her into his world in a chauffeured car, the other who sees through Anna's struggle to leave her old life behind. It's like she's stepped into the pages of a glittering new novel, but what will it cost her to play the part?
