Books like Will you won't you want me? by Nora Zelevansky
Marjorie Plum, once the star of a New York prep school, has lived in the shadow of her high school glory for a decade. When she moves into a tiny Brooklyn apartment with a pixie‑like musician roommate, she must juggle rent, a demanding job and a new role: tutoring an 11‑year‑old who unknowingly becomes the ghost of her own past. Through this unlikely mentorship, a rekindled childhood love, a grumpy yet endearing boss, and her own inner conflicts, Marjorie embarks on a humorous, heartfelt journey of self‑realization and adulthood. In Nora Zelevansky’s second novel, she discovers that the only decision that matters is choosing who the real Marjorie Plum will be.
