Summary

In "Trying to Float: Coming of Age in the Chelsea Hotel," Nicolaia Rips offers a poignant and humorous memoir that captures the unique experience of growing up in New York City's iconic Chelsea Hotel. As the daughter of eccentric artists, Nicolaia provides an intimate look at the eclectic characters that inhabit the hotel, including bohemians, misfits, and creative souls who defy convention. With wit and insight, she navigates the challenges of adolescence, exploring identity, belonging, and the meaning of home in a place where the ordinary is anything but. This coming-of-age story is a celebration of individuality and the beauty of being different in a world that often demands conformity.
