      Bursting with bittersweet nostalgia, this debut captures the essence of being a teenage girl. Set in a Florida prep school, the story follows a group known as "The Brittanys." Each Brittany has her quirks: Brittany Rosenberg drives her golf cart to meet boys, Brittany Gottlieb believes virginity is tied to menstruation, Brittany Tomassi hails from New York, and Brittany Jensen, a bold tomboy, once threw a tampon into a stranger's pool. The fifth Brittany, our narrator, shares a special bond with Jensen, and together they navigate adolescence with matching backpacks and a sense of invincibility. As they embrace the freedom of growing up, they plan to dye their hair, attend parties without parental supervision, experiment with pot, and explore romantic relationships. However, Jensen's perspective on their adventures may differ from the narrator's. Complicating matters, the narrator's family life is also shifting, with significant changes affecting her exhausted mother and brilliant older brother. Years later, she reflects on these pivotal moments, gaining insight into the complexities of friendship and family during this transformative time.
