Fringe Benefits

By Valerie Frankel

Book Overview

You can take the girl out of Brooklyn?or can you? Waitressing at an exclusive tennis and squash club isn?t all it?s cracked up to be. Just ask Adora Benet. For as long as she can remember, summer has meant European vacations and sleepaway camp. But this summer is different. While her friends scatter the globe for adventures of their own, Dora finds herself stuck in Brooklyn, learning the true meaning of a dollar. Fortunately for this working girl, there are fringe benefits that come with the territory: cool older friends who really know how to party, for one thing. And an unexpected gig at a veterinarian?s office with a totally hot doctor. Soon Dora?s boring summer turns into her first taste of real life. But with all these new responsibilities and thrilling relationships, freedom can get a little scary sometimes?
