Atlantic. Very Good. 6.14 x 0.75 x 9.17 inches. Paperback. 2012. 222 pages. <br>When the Bergamots move from a comfortable upstate college town to New York City, they are not quite sure how they will adapt, or what to make of the strange new world of well-to-d o Manhattan. Soon, though, Richard is consumed by his executive r ole at a large New York university, and Liz, who has traded in he r academic career to oversee the lives of their children, is hect ically ferrying young Coco around town. Fifteen-year-old Jake is gratefully taken into the fold by a group of friends at Wildwood, an elite private school. But the upper-class cocoon in which the y have enveloped themselves is ripped apart when Jake wakes up on e morning after an unchaperoned party and finds an email in his i n-box from an eighth-grade admirer. Attached is a sexually explic it video she has made for him. Shocked, stunned, maybe a little p roud, and scared, a jumble of adolescent emotion, he forwards the video to a friend, who then forwards it to a friend. Within hour s, it has gone viral, all over the school, the city, the world. T he ensuing scandal threatens to shatter the Bergamots' sense of s ecurity and identity, and, ultimately, their happiness. They are a good family faced with bad choices, and how they choose to reac t, individually and at one another's behest, places everything th ey hold dear in jeopardy. ., Atlantic, 2012, 3<

What if it happened to yours? When the Bergamots move to the city, they're unsure how well they'll adapt. Soon though, Richard is consumed by his new job and Liz, who has given up her career, is hectically playing mother to six-year-old Coco and fifteen-year-old Jake. But the day Jake unthinkingly forwards a sexually explicit email attachment sent to him by a young girl is the last day of the Bergamots' comfortable middle-class existence. Within hours, the video clip is not only all over Jake's school, but all over the city - and all over the internet. Faced with impossible choices, what Richard and Liz do next risks destroying not only their marriage, their daughter and their place in the community, but also Jake - the child they have set out to protect.
