I read Danielle Pearl's short story and will hopefully get to the other stories soon. Danielle is finally back with this short story in this anthology which I fully intend to read. I enjoyed this story about a young woman Remy Goodman, whose reputation has been shredded by popular mean girls. She was assaulted by one of them over a rumor that was started earlier in the summer. Remy is a lifeguard at a private swim club on the island (Long Island) before she starts college at NYU. She admires Jacob, a swimmer and her boss at the club. A situation happens in which one of the members is a 'Karen' and embarrassingly racist. Of course Jacob saw this coming while Remy was shocked and reminded of her privilege. Remy still has to face the mean girls and finds the courage to deal with them and salvage her reputation.
Quite frankly I am not surprised at racism in Long Island. I understand Remy might have been sheltered and naive but as someone who lives in the tri state area I have learned that there's quite a conservative, racist hold in several towns. This book takes the issues without minimizing them but is just a quick light story.
