Summary
Flora Goldwasser is private school perfection - all wrapped up in a vintage Grace Kelly dress. But when she leaves elite Manhattan for an academy of unwashed hippies and ironic hipsters in the Hudson Valley, Flora discovers that when it comes to popularity and approval there is no commutative property.

Critics Review
A witty portrayal of a certain type of uber-conscious New York millennial … a comic, self-deprecatory illustration of the conflict between our projected self-image, versus the reality. - Financial Times
Quirky and totally gripping coming-of-age story … sarcastic, highly intelligent and slightly offbeat … Flora recounts her feelings about Elijah with the true breathlessness expected of a teenage crush, but has enough self-knowledge to realise how ridiculous such an abundance of crazy emotions can make a person. It’s smart, funny and different. - Daily MailFunny, witty and feminist, you’ll fall in love with Flora. - Stylist magazineCoined as a “modern coming of age” story, it’s really so much more than that. Davis’s voice is so rich, funny and compelling that you’ll implore her to do nothing but write more books as the world truly needs more - STAT. - In StyleAbout The Author
