Publisher Description
When it first published in 1958, Rona Jaffe's debut novel electrified readers who saw themselves reflected in its story of five young employees of a New York publishing company. There's Ivy League Caroline, who dreams of graduating from the typing pool to an editor's office; naive country girl April, who within months of hitting town reinvents herself as the woman every man wants on his arm; Gregg, the free-spirited actress with a secret yearning for domesticity. Now a classic, and as page-turning as when it first came out, The Best of Everything portrays their lives and passions with intelligence, affection, and prose as sharp as a paper cut.
Includes a foreword by the author.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable but.....
I really enjoyed this book and the characterisations throughout right until the last twenty pages.
Until the last twenty pages the characterisations are depicted in such detail you feel you know the characters, the offices, the restraints and bars etc. you are made to feel their every feeling - good and bad!
However the ending felt rushed and was unexplained and I was really disappointed when I turned over the last page and that was it!!!!
