A vivid glimpse into a small-town social world where wit and mood swing between laughter and longing.
In a sunlit country club orbit, a young woman known for her changing moods navigates a circle of friends, flirtations, and secrets. The party atmosphere blends playful impersonations with sharp social undercurrents, painting a portrait of ambition, loyalty, and the pull of old ties. The book follows Nan as she balances bravado and vulnerability, while discovering what it means to redefine herself among those who think they know her best.
Set against a backdrop of polished surfaces and crowded rooms, this story captures how a single evening can ripple into a tangle of relationships, temperaments, and choices. The narrative moves through social ballroom energy and quieter moments of self-reflection, offering a window into consent, constraint, and the dawning sense of responsibility that comes with growing up.
- Vivid social scenes at a country club that reveal character and class dynamics.
- A mix of humor, bravado, and tender moments that probe personal loyalties.
- Focus on a young woman finding her voice and testing the bounds of her world.
- A sense of movement between lighthearted fun and the weight of real-life decisions.
Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction set in a social circle where mood and circumstance shape outcomes.

If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
