 Lucy Silag
A story of four American teens in Paris … and the scandal that leads one girl to disappear. Beautiful Americans, Silag's sparkling debut novel, reveals exactly how it feels to be a teen in love, in angst, in a big, gorgeous, unfamiliar city. Fall in love with the elusive model-gorgeous PJ, on the run from a mysterious past. Or Olivia, a hardworking ballerina whose fall from grace – both literal and figurative – lands her in the arms of the wrong boy. Witness the melodrama of jaded but beautiful Alex, whose seductions will never fill the void left by her father. Finally, let fun-loving Zack warm your heart with his vulnerability and sweet Memphis accent. On their own for the first time, these kids go wild in Paris. But when PJ disappears, the others must face the lies they’ve told and the secrets they’ve kept in order to help find her. Silag graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2005 and has written for Allure, New York, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Salon, among others. She lives in Brooklyn.
