Soon enough, all of her friends are divorced, Women s Lib has arrived, and Carol is quite satisfied conducting interviews on glittering film sets or in swanky bars, and having flings with gorgeous men.

But then she meets Matthew Fitzgerald. He is handsome and successful and rich and married. Over time, they become more and more enamored of each other and Carol is forced to make a decision. She may preserve her status as an independent woman, or sacrifice her ideals for the one thing she never thought she needed a man.

"I read somewhere that Lena Dunham makes everyone read [Rona Jaffe], which makes perfect sense to me." - The Hairpin

"Jaffe's heroines are able to test the boundaries. They are changed by what they experience. But...so is the world." - Telegraph
