Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 222 pages. When the Bergamots move from a comfortable upstate college town to New York City, they are not quite sure how they will adapt, or what to make of the strange new world of well-to-d o Manhattan. Soon, though, Richard is consumed by his executive r ole at a large New York university, and Liz, who has traded in he r academic career to oversee the lives of their children, is hect ically ferrying young Coco around town. Fifteen-year-old Jake is gratefully taken into the fold by a group of friends at Wildwood, an elite private school. But the upper-class cocoon in which the y have enveloped themselves is ripped apart when Jake wakes up on e morning after an unchaperoned party and finds an email in his i n-box from an eighth-grade admirer. Attached is a sexually explic it video she has made for him. Shocked, stunned, maybe a little p roud, and scared, a jumble of adolescent emotion, he forwards the video to a friend, who then forwards it to a friend. Within hour s, it has gone viral, all over the school, the city, the world. T he ensuing scandal threatens to shatter the Bergamots' sense of s ecurity and identity, and, ultimately, their happiness. They are a good family faced with bad choices, and how they choose to reac t, individually and at one another's behest, places everything th ey hold dear in jeopardy. Seller Inventory # 1183u
