A Gorgeous Excitement (USED)

A Gorgeous Excitement by Cynthia Weiner

Explore the gritty allure of 1980s New York with A Gorgeous Excitement, a raw and provocative coming-of-age novel set against a backdrop of crime, desire, and disillusionment. As the city simmers with violence and glamour, 18-year-old Nina Jacobs navigates dead-end temp jobs, fraught family dynamics, and the pressure to lose her virginity before college. When a charming "It boy" from the Upper East Side enters the scene, Nina’s summer spirals into a haze of parties, cocaine, and reckless choices.

Perfect for fans of edgy literary fiction and unfiltered female perspectives, this used copy of A Gorgeous Excitement captures the pulse of a city and a girl on the edge of transformation.
