Education, however boring, exists for a reason. Between the debonaire and the geek, always choose the geek. (As the ancient Chinese saying goes: Hao gan bu hao chi.) Why your cello should never accept rides from strangers, even when it's raining.Story of a bright young girl who exchanges her boring education in exchange for the good life -
attending auctions, going to the races, lounging at jazz clubs, weekend trips to Paris and Oxford with her new-found man friend. Turns out her friend-now-fiance is a serial liar, thief, and adulterer, who leaves her high and dry when she accidentally discovers the truth. Fortunately, even though she lost her virginity, she didn't get pregnant. Kicked out of school for her insolence to the headmistress, she enlists the help of her teacher, passes her A-levels, and was admitted to Oxford to read English. Life goes on.
Some memorable quotes:- "I don't want to lose my virginity to a piece of fruit. "
- "All this fascination and poetry, for only a few seconds?!"
- "One of the boys I dated, and they were boys, suggested that we go to Paris and I said I'd always wanted to see Paris. As if I'd never been!"
