Synopsis
An exhilarating debut novel of reinvention, friendship, and ambitionfrom the Jersey Shore to Scotland Tom Alison was weeks away from collecting his diploma at a prestigious East Coast boarding school and heading off to the Ivy League. His goal: a job in high finance alongside the power brokers he had watched from a distance as the working-class son of a single mom. But when he gets busted for selling drugs on campus, his life among the children of privilege quickly falls apart. Tom escapes his ruined reputation with a new friendClaire Savage, the son of a disgraced financierand the two of them flee to St. Andrews University in Scotland. But what they find is a world shaped by even more powerful and unforgiving forces of greed, class, and ambition than the one they left behind. As Tom is sucked into a life of sex, drugs, and money, he learns what it takes to break the rulesand how we can be broken by them. Reminiscent of early Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney, Down the Shore is an unflinching, unforgettable novel of youth and excess.
