Summary
Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler is a coming-of-age story set in New York City. Over the course of a year, 22-year-old Tess, a girl straight out of small-town middle America, arrives in New York City, creates a niche for herself in the glitzy, fast-paced Manhattan restaurant scene, falls in love, and has her heart broken.
Smart, pretty Tess arrives in her car in New York in June 2006, leaving behind her lonely childhood and conservative small town. She rents a room in Williamsburg and sets out to find a job in Manhattan. Tess gets an interview at one of the most renowned restaurants in the city, located in Union Square. In the interview, her honesty, frankness, and good looks charm Howard, the general manager. So Tess gets a job as a backwaiter, or a food and drink runner and table busser.
From the time of her first chaotic preshift, where staff members scarf down a family-style dinner while tasting the night’s featured wines, Tess is thrust into the world of service. Her trailer,

Tess meets Jake, a quiet bartender with a mysterious past. She also meets the sophisticated server Simone, the restaurant’s queen. Simone seems to know everything about food and wine, not to
