A Gorgeous Excitement by Cynthia Weiner
A Gorgeous Excitement is an “edgy coming-of-age novel” that is loosely based on the real-life 1986 Preppy Murder Case.
“Carefully paced and beautifully written,” Cynthia Weiner does a brilliant job of capturing “what it was like for a young woman in the louchely glamourous, cocaine-fueled, privileged white Manhattan of the 1980s.”
This book is for you if:
You ever used a fake ID to get into Dorrian’s.
You are a fan of Jay McInerney, Tama Janowitz, Emma Cline, and Bret Easton Ellis.
You carried a Le Sportsac bag and wore Tiffany hook and eye bracelets.
Let me know if you’ve read it. I’m dying to discuss!
