“Fletcher Michael’s GLASS BOTTLE SEASON is a closely observed coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of the insular culture of Newport royalty. This boozy, immersive novel will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or has experienced that painful passage between the last gasps of childhood and the beginnings of adulthood. It’s a terrific beach read, and just like summer, you won’t want it to end.” – Michelle Brafman, author of SWIMMING WITH GHOSTS, WASHING THE DEAD, and BERTAND COURT.
