Water From the Moon

Water From the Moon: This winter Nicole Bernstein is not thinking of art, food, or boys-- her usual obsessions. One reason is Tanya Rubano, a new student in Nicole's sophomore class. Nicole finds Tanya mysterious and fascinating, even though her best friend warns her that Tanya is trouble. Nicole's other interest is Joshus Brent, the New York University senior she meets while scouting for a television commercial with her father. Josh gets her job as an extra in a "Chick's Chuggets" commercial and her really seems to like her. The way Nicole has it figured, the five years between her sixteen and his twenty-one is a lot, but maybe manageable. When Tanya persuades Nicole to cut class one Friday and go down to SoHo to see Josh, Nicole makes a startling discovery about him. This discovery leaves her feeling hurt and betrayed, until Tanya's next move forces Nicole to examine her own expectations and Nicole realizes that it's okay that there are some things, like water from the moon, that she can never have.
(Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1987)
