4 stars
Elise is a stubborn, street-smart girl running away from her life in the housing projects and trying to start over. Jamey is a Yale student born into a wealthy family whose standards are more important than actual feelings. They live next door to each other and enter a romance fraught with insecurities, revulsion, and desire. As their feelings for each other deepens so does the trouble it causes for Jamey and his family. Set against the grittiness of 1980's New York City, this novel is an in-depth character study of two people from very different backgrounds that fight against the odds to find love. It took me a while to get used to the author's overuse of simile but once I did, I became very involved in the story. I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
