Class of 2016

Happy six years, ’16s! I hope your 2022 is going swell with no summer sunburns to speak of (I’m sure one of us is a dermatologist who’d tell you to wear sunscreen).

If you’re looking for beach reads, Lindsay MacMillan is publishing her first novel, The Heart of the Deal, in June! Lindsay has dreamed of being an author since age 6 and wrote three unpublished manuscripts at Dartmouth. She draws from her own experiences in N.Y.C. while working Wall Street and dating apps simultaneously. Here’s a blurb for you bookworm ’16s: “The protagonist Rae is an investment banker who approaches her love life like a business deal and is determined to lock in a husband before her 30th birthday. But as her friends support her through the volatile Manhattan dating app market, she must learn to let go of her analytical plans and let love breathe on its own timeline. The Heart of the Deal is the perfect summer read for any woman who’s rethinking what success means in their relationships or careers…and anyone who’s just curious about what it’s like to date in N.Y.C. and work on Wall Street in the modern age!” Stay tuned next summer for her second novel, Double-Decker Dreams. Congrats, Lindsay!

As always, I await your update!
