Don’t be fooled by the title of Bennington Girls Are Easy, Charlotte Silver’s clever and ultimately wise first novel for adults. While Cassandra and Sylvie, the Bennington grads who make a playground out of New York City across the book’s 257 pages, fall in and out of bed with plenty of men, there’s nothing easy about these encounters—there’s a lot of analyzing and dissecting and misery and joy. In tiny chapters comprising colorful anecdotes and tidy lessons about trying to create a life in a big, ruthless city, we watch them find and lose jobs and apartments and roommates, fiancées and friends, the just-right vintage gems New York sometimes gifts the poor-but-stylish, Le Creuset pans that make the perfect omelets, themselves, and ultimately each other. Many of the characters would place the same amount of importance on that Le Creuset pan as they would the lost friendships and shifting allegiances, but that’s part of the book’s wicked deliciousness. There are plenty of reasons not to like these girls—they’re catty and selfish and lazy and their priorities are all wrong—but they’re also indomitable and savvy and full of moxie that’s hard not to enjoy.
