Description
A sparkling debut from Rumaan Alam, Rich and Pretty is a witty and insightful novel about two childhood friends navigating the complexities of adulthood. Sarah and Lauren have been inseparable since high school, but as they transition into their adult lives, their paths diverge. Sarah, the only child of a prominent intellectual and socialite, is methodically planning her wedding, while Lauren, beautiful and independent, is single and working in publishing. As they lead different lives, they must confront the aspects of each other's existence that they envy and are horrified by. With impeccable style and biting humor, Alam explores how childhood attachments shift as we adapt to adulthood, and how friendships endure even when our paths diverge.
