Welcome to Jessica's world... When Jessica Zorich met a tall, charismatic artist at a San Francisco party, her life had been all about coping: with a baffling and dangerous world, with a mostly inane job, and with a sweet but meandering relationship with her upstairs neighbor. But Josh Hadden doesn't cope: he's a man of action, of big visions, and of relationships that span the globe; a man certain of his passions, politics, art, and desire. And what Josh desires most is Jessica--at a time when being desired might be the most desirable thing of all. In this daring, mesmerizing debut, a novel that brilliantly captures the angst of a generation, Jessica gives herself over to an erotic, reckless relationship with a man guarding deep secrets--and to a perfect storm of lust, doubt, joy, and fear. Now, against her better judgment, she is following Josh into his mystifying life and brilliant, dizzying work--where she will find out how much she has been missing, how far she has yet to go, and what the price of this intoxicating adventure will be....

I remember reading somewhere that the author painted a detailed picture of some kind of "future world". I don't think that is the case, it never felt like I was reading about any sort of future anything. Maybe a more violent present, but the story was more about the characters and their lives. The current events affected the lives of the characters, but the book wasn't entirely centered around that.
To me, the book was about a girl named Jessica who was in love with her neighbor, but couldn't admit it to herself, and entered into a relationship with an artist while trying to decide what she felt about the neighbor, when everything kind of blew up on her, so to speak. The story is told entirely from Jessica's point of view. While the current events definitely affected the lives of the characters, the book wasn't entirely centered around them. Jessica works, drinks wine, attends her neighbor's party, makes a friend, gets involved with an intense artist, talks to her sister and mother, and some things happen that affect the outcome of everything. The story lost me a little bit towards the end when I started to question why Jessica might do some of the things that she does, but it was an interesting enough story that I would like to read, but not necessarily seek out, other books by this author.
