Jennifer Close

press release: The Bubbler

From the best­selling author of Girls in White Dresses, a glorious send­up of young D.C. and a blazingly honest portrait of a marriage­­. When Beth arrives in Washington, D.C., she hates everything about it: the confusing traffic circles, the ubiquitous Ann Taylor suits, the humidity that descends each summer. At dinner parties, guests compare their security clearance levels. They leave their BlackBerrys on the table. They speak in acronyms. And once they realize Beth doesn't work in politics, they smile blandly and turn away.
