Every night is an opportunity to be thrilled and every morning a chance to recount it to her friends, so when she falls for Sadie and Stuart at the same time, she sees no reason not to pursue them both.But as the realities of modern life begin to catch up with her, and everyone wants Ada to define herself in relation to them, she feels the weight of the questions: which version of yourself is most true? And do other people enhance your best self, or distort it?Go Lightly is a tribute to party girls whod rather enjoy the present than fear the future or regret the past, and a love letter to the community you find when youre far from home.Funny, perceptive and effortlessly engaging .
