The Basil And Josephine Stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald

A linked set of stories follows two young protagonists as they grow up in privileged 1920s social circles, charting their romantic misadventures, moments of self-deception, and gradual encounters with disappointment; through episodes of flirtation, social aspiration, and moral testing, the narratives examine youth, identity, and the tension between idealized dreams and harsher realities.
