At thirteen everyone can see Kath's got her eye on bigger things than provincial Fresno can offer. Years in the glamourous chill of an East Coast prep school introduce her to a razor sense of social distinction, cocaine 'so good it's pink', and an indispensable best friend. As she navigates her twenties there are fourteen-dollar cocktails but no money for groceries; unsuitable men of enormous charm, and unsuitable jobs of no charm at all; travelling for love and travelling with mother and a yearning for a transformation from someone of promise into someone of genius.
In this witty and affecting debut, fiction winks at real life: Katherine Taylor is its muddled heroine, and also its author. Written with an unerring sense of the delights and malaises of a generation 'Rules for Saying Goodbye' is about breaking down and putting yourself back together again.
