Summary: lighthearted coming of age tale
Comment: Just having graduated from college, Eve Vitali has landed a permA-temp job as an assistant to the editor of Bicycle Boy magazine. Her closest friend Tabitha also works in the same building as an assistant to the editor of NY BY Night. Eve lives with her parents in her old room in New Jersey, partying over the weekends at places where the rich and famous go to make a statement.
Her college roommate persuades Eve to leave the nest and move into the city. The pair is once again roommates even though Tabitha feels like an extra wheel and isn't happy with the arrangements. Looking for guys and a place to find them is the extent of the trio's social life. On the business front, Eve, a journalism major, sees no future for her at the company and realizes that if something is to change, she will have to do something drastic.
ON THE VERGE is a lighthearted coming of age tale in the Big Apple. The protagonist shows growth throughout the story line making decisions that will eventually lead to her taking a huge corner risk. Readers will hope she succeeds because she's perky and bright displaying the potential to go far in her chosen field if she can get her act together. Ariella Papa has written a work that will appeal to the under thirty crowd.

Summary: It's all true!
Comment: As a 23-year-old woman out of college on her 1st job, I found Papa's 1st book so TRUE TO LIFE! She describes events and emotions that I could never as eloquently put words to as she has. The narrator and her friends were totally believable. While I am not in the high-powered world of publishing in NYC, Papa's discussions of the working world, social life after college and female friendships really touched me.
I laughed out loud a number of times and was even late for work a few mornings not wanting to put it down! And ask my boyfriend about me staying up late to read it!
I typically don't read this sort of fiction, but I found this extremely refreshing and a fantastic summer (or anytime) read.
I hope to see more from Papa.
Additionally, the title (which has relevance at the end) completely describes the emotionally roller-coaster that leaving school puts one through. From needing to order higher-class drinks to being the lowest on the totem pole at work... this book really captures this time in my life. I'd be very interested to hear what readers a bit older feel about this...
