OPIS
Now in paperback, the first adult novel by the author of the successful Gossip Girl series. Gossip Girl goes to college in this tart satire, centering on four mixed-up freshmen who stumble through their first semester trying on life, love, and drugs. There's pretty rich girl Shipley, rebel-without-a-cause Eliza, repressed-artist Tom, and hippie-spawn Nick. With a population of only nineteen hundred, Dexter was a small college in a small town, but it still felt overwhelming compared to high school, the kids discover, but really scary is the newfound freedom-from families, histories, and their adolescent identities.
