Title: "Young Jane Young: A Novel." "[Gabrielle] Zevin's newest novel . . . hinges on a political scandal. As a young, ambitious congressional intern, Aviva Grossman . . . refuses to break off a secret affair with her very married and very public figure of a boss. She compounds her error in judgement by blogging about it . . . When the relationship is inevitably revealed, her blog and identity soon follow, tanking her burgeoning political career. The main narrative focuses on how scandal affects the lives of several women over the years, told from each of their perspectives. . . . Presenting a sharp send-up of our culture's obsession with scandal and blame, this novel pulls at the seams of misogyny from all angles, some of them sure to be uncomfortable for readers."
