For fans of the New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl and hit tv show The Sex Lives of College girls here is a smart and highly commercial first novel about four best friends who, after graduating high school, decide to postpone the standard college route to pursue their creative dreams. Harper Waddle, Sophie Bushell, and Kate Foster are about to commit the ultimate suburban sin-bailing on college to pursue their dreams. Middlebury-bound Becca Winsberg is convinced her friends have gone insane? until they remind her she just might have a dream of her own. So what if their lives are bass-ackwards and belly up? Theyll always have each other. Harper is going to be the next Jane Austen. Or Sylvia Plath. Or Plum Sykes. Figuring out which should be easy. Its living with the lie she told her three best friends thats going to be hard. Kate doesnt know exactly what she wants. But whatever it is, she wont find it at Harvard. Maybe the answer is in Paris, or Athens? or anywhere Kate can be someone besides the girl with perfect grades, perfect hair, and the perfect boyfriend. Sophie is a star. Shes already got the looks, the talent, and a list of demands for her dressing room. Now that shes wrangled a furnished guesthouse in Beverly Hills, its only a matter of time before shes discovered. Unless she isnt. Becca is dysfunctional. At least, her family is. Which is why she cant wait to flee the drama and get to college. But Beccas friends know she needs more than a spot on the Middlebury ski team and a cozy dorm room. They know she needs to fall in love.
