This book was a fun romp through NY in the 80s, through the eyes of Nina during her last summer in the city before going off to college. Nina makes a fun new friend who introduces her to the "gorgeous excitement" of cocaine, and chases after a guy she likes, desperate to lose her virginity before she leaves for college, while also dealing with her mom having some mental health issues. Nina was a good narrator, I liked being inside her head through this story. She felt very naive at the start and definitely evolved through the book. The ending felt a little abrupt and not very satisfying, I was expecting some bigger reveal or conclusion. I love the cover art! I think this would be a really good audiobook, too.
