The Intimates is about Maize and Robbie, who meet in high school and hold fast to each other as they stumble through amorous adventures, first jobs, and complicated relationships with family members here and abroad. It is a powerful and compassionate debut novel that explores the romance of young friendship, the freighted bonds between parents and children, and the thrills and mesmerizing illusions of sex. Lovely, perceptive, funny, and vividly erotic, in The Intimates, "Sassone has created a friendship so deep, so utterly believable, that you feel jealous of Maize and Robbie’s closeness---and of Sassone’s easy talent" (New York Press).
