Kezia, Nathaniel, and Victor have reunited for the extravagant wedding of a college friend. Now at the tail end of their twenties, they arrive completely absorbed in their own lives. Kezia is the second-in-command to a madwoman jewelry designer in Manhattan. Nathaniel, the former literary cool kid, is selling his wares in Hollywood, and the Eeyore-esque Victor was just fired from a middling search engine. They soon slip back into old roles: Victor loves Kezia. Kezia loves Nathaniel. Nathaniel loves Nathaniel.

Review:
"[Crosley’s] prose is the literary equivalent of a light-as-air soufflé, made from recipes by Candace Bushnell and a young Donna Tartt...consistently witty...a real comic talent" (Independent on Sunday)
"Seriously impressive...as smart as it is funny" (Glamour)
"An entertaining homage to Maupassant...There is barely a page of the novel that doesn’t glitter with some nugget of wit or wisdom" (Guardian)
"A shrewd exploration of the modern-day late-quarter-life crisis...her signature wit is sharp as ever here. [Crosley] is startlingly good at portraying comically awful characters who would seem cartoonish if they weren’t also so recognizable...Crosley is an incisive observer of human nature in general and of a generation in particular – people circling the age of 30 who foster undue fondness for the retro culture of their youth...For all its humor, Crosley’s prose is equally sharp in delineating her character’s despair...in this highly comic, highly affecting novel" (The New York Times)

Very funny, very fresh comedy about a love triangle, a hunt for a necklace and the search for the truth.
