A picaresque debut of forbidden desire, in which a young woman escapes NYC to work on her novel in the Hamptons, falling into a downward spiral of lovers and other destructive behaviors.
In the closing days of summer, 'lover girl' arrives at the sprawling, neglected home of her wealthy friend, Lucas. What to him is an empty house is to her an act of generosity that comes with blurry expectations. The arrival of an ex-boyfriend, Cameron, makes things even more complicated.
How can she give both men the things they assume they can take from her? What she calls 'love' will take her to the bedrooms of New York City, the decadent parties of upper-class America, and, eventually, to Paris.
Lover Girl is a lesson in the schooled indifference and the complicated dynamics of the super-privileged and the meaning of real love as a twenty-first century girl.
