Resumen del Editor

"A total time machine - I loved it." (Maria Semple, New York Times best-selling author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette)

Named One of the Best Books of the Summer by Good Morning America, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, and PopSugar

A daringly honest, sexy debut novel about three young women coming of age in 1980s New England and New York - a bingeable summer listen

It's 1983. David Bowie reigns supreme, and downtown Manhattan has never been cooler. But Justine and Eve are stuck at Griswold Academy, a Connecticut boarding school. Griswold is a far cry from Justine's bohemian life in New Haven, where her parents run a theater and struggle to pay the bills. Eve, the sophisticated daughter of status-obsessed Park Avenue parents, also feels like an outsider amidst Griswold's preppy jocks and debutantes. Justine longs for Eve's privilege, and Eve for Justine's sexual confidence. Despite their differences, they form a deep friendship, together grappling with drugs, alcohol, ill-fated crushes, and predatory male teachers.

After a tumultuous school year, Eve and Justine spend the summer in New York City where they join Eve's childhood friend India. Justine moves into India's Hell's Kitchen apartment and is pulled further into her friends' glamorous lives. Eve, under her parents' ever-watchful eye, interns at a SoHo art gallery and navigates the unpredictable whims of her boss. India struggles to resist the advances of a famous artist represented by the gallery. All three are affected by their sexual relationships with older men and the power adults hold over them, even as the young women begin to assert their independence.

A captivating, timeless novel about friendship, sex, and parental damage, Amanda Brainerd's Age of Consent intimately evokes the heady freedom of our teenage years.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A breathless time capsule of a book, Age of Consent is a coming-of-age period piece that feels very much of the now." (Harper's Bazaar)

"Brainerd eloquently captures the struggles of her teenage characters while simultaneously providing insight into their screwed up parents. Familiar, funny, and totally unforgettable." (Molly Jong Fast, author of The Social Climber's Handbook)

Loved this coming of age story

Amanda Brainerd brings the 1980s to life in her beautifully-written novel of adolescent dreams and discovery. I loved being transported to the New York of the 1980s, with all its flaws and inspiration, when hands-off parenting was the norm. This was the perfect audiobook for my long car ride.
