Inside Manhattan’s private school world of fast-paced over-
the-top entitlement and superficial gloss lurk many
secrets—the secrets of emotionally charged teenage and
adult lives. In this eloquent novel set during one class’s
senior year at the Griffin School, among the queen bees
and the wannabes, Michael Avery and Julianne Coopersmith
begin a relationship. Their backgrounds are so different—
he’s beyond privileged and rich, her mother is a writer
who drives a cab—but it’s the rich boy who ends up being
the needy one, with an emotional hole they both believe
only Julianne can fill. Their parents are not immune from
internal torture either—Michael’s mother finds it easier
to love her Chinese Crested Hairless than her own child,
and Julianne’s mother’s protective instincts have
unexpected consequences.Fast-paced, gently satirical, yet
deeply felt, Posh is a poignant and knowing novel.
