A heavy snowstorm envelops Manhattan as the economy teeters on the edge of collapse, yet a group of friends at a lavish holiday party remain blissfully unaware. Five years post-college, this tight-knit circle—editor Sara Sherman, troubled astronomer George Murphy, outspoken poet Jacob Blaumann, investment banker William Cho, and enigmatic artist Irene Richmond—celebrates their enduring bond amidst the festive atmosphere. As they toast to the new year, they face the complexities of their relationships and the city that both captivates and eludes them. However, when an unexpected tragedy strikes, they are compelled to reassess their dreams and navigate the challenges of loss. Jansma's narrative delves into the essence of friendship, ambition, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. His debut novel, acclaimed for its humor and narrative style, sets the stage for this poignant exploration of a generation seeking their place in the world. Through ambition, passion, and love, the story captures the triumphs and trials of coming of age, making it a resonant tale for readers everywhere.
