National BestsellerA funny, sad, nasty little gem of a novel.Jay McInerneyIn bestselling author Jennifer Belles debut novel, Going Down, Belle introduces readers to Bennington Bloom, a coed working her way through college. As a call girl.With a sharp eye for satire and a keen comic sense, Belle chronicles nineteen-year-old Benningtons high-pressure adventures. Stuck with an ulcer, a father who loves his dog like a daughter, a shrink who is hard of hearing, and New York University tuition to worry about, she's working overtime to keep it all together and doing what she can to survive. Spending the night in an abandoned hotel pool, punching pushy old women on the subway, Bennington is at an all-time low, and things are only going down from there.A witty take on making it in the city, Going Down showcases Jennifer Belles unerring gift for capturing the absurdities of day-to-day life. Funny and intelligent with an endearingly skewed take on life, Belle is the real thing.
