Grady MNcNeil tiene diecisiete años y ha conseguido convencer a sus padres para que la dejen sola en el piso de Central Park mientras ellos hacen un crucero de verano. nadie se explica por qué la jovencita desdeña las delicias de Europa por el ardiente verano de Nueva York, Pero Grady tiene un secreto: está enamorada. Y el suyo es un amor que deberá saltar barreras muy poderosas. Porque Grady, que definitivamente ha nacido en lo más alto de la escala social, se ha enamorado de Clyde Manzer, un jovencito de veintitrés años que trabaja en el parking donde ella guarda su coche. Y Clyde es judío, veterano de guerra, y de clase media baja, muy baja.
This truly became a beach read when the San Francisco winter turned 70 degrees. That was pretty much the perfect way to read it -- in two hours, with sunglasses on and heels kicked up. It's unfinished, so don't make it your first Capote. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes him. It's a breezy read without being fluff. ( )

Turning right on Fifty-ninth, the car skidded onto the Queensboro Bridge; there, above the hollow hootings of river traffic, and with a morning he was never to see changing the sky, Gump cried, "Damn it, you'll kill us," but he could not loosen her hands from the steering wheel: she said, "I know."
