About A Gorgeous Excitement:
In A GORGEOUS EXCITEMENT, Nina Jacobs is as bright as she is insecure, as clever as she is vulnerable, and as guarded as she is lonely, making her particularly susceptible to the lure of “It Boy” Gardner Reed’s charms. Nina targets him to take her virginity (she’s the last of her private all-girls school friends so afflicted) and with it, she imagines, her feelings of shame—about her tragically depressed and volatile mother at home, about being Jewish in a world of blue-eyed blond privilege, and for desperately wanting acceptance. When she’s introduced to cocaine by a ballsy water-gun-wielding girl she meets in the park, Nina finds her courage and plunges headfirst into her pursuit of Gardner, despite the red flags that should have warned her off. Freud called cocaine “a gorgeous excitement,” but a gorgeous excitement for the wrong guy can be lethal.

About Cynthia Weiner:
Cynthia Weiner has had a long career writing and teaching fiction. Her short stories have been published in Ploughshares, The Sun, and Epiphany, and her story, “Boyfriends,” was awarded a Pushcart Prize. She is also the assistant director of The Writers Studio in New York City. A Gorgeous Excitement, her first novel, was inspired by her upbringing on New York’s Upper East Side in the 1980s, and particularly by the notorious “Preppy Murder” of 1986. Weiner now lives in New York’s Hudson Valley.

About Julia Dahl:
Julia Dahl is the author of five novels. Her most recent, I DREAMED OF FALLING, was a Florida Sun-Sentinel Best Book of 2024, and her first, INVISIBLE CITY, was a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and has been translated into eight languages. A former reporter for the New York Post and CBS News, she now teaches journalism at NYU.
