From the publisher
Jay McInerney here documents the chaotic world of New York City's fast lane, where the players are moneyed, gorgeous, and not yet twenty-one. Alison Poole, the book's wise and wisecracking heroine, finds herself immersed in a world of clubs, cocaine, and casual sex, a playground for the demi-monde of New York's jet-set offspring. But it is a world on the edge of emotional collapse, and one which Alison finds increasingly difficult to bear.
