Aprašymas

Viršelis su pažeidimu.

‘Utterly immersive ... reminiscent of Sally Rooney and is a complex and joyous ode to being in love, messing up and finding your way’ – Stylist

‘A perfect Millennial love story … with its acidic dialogue and languid sex scenes, I wouldn't be surprised to see it adapted for the screen. A charming and clever romance, a perfect summer read’ – Irish Times

A SMART, SEXY AND SPIKY MODERN LOVE STORY, FROM DEBUT NOVELIST JENNY MUSTARD

‘Emotionally realistic . . . desperately romantic. Simply brilliant’ – Irish Independent

‘Razor sharp ... nothing short of brilliant’ – Glamour

Sam is 28, Swedish, carefree and chaotic. Doing a work placement in London over the course of three sticky summer months, she falls hard for Lucas, a man she first met as a teenager. Lucas, 27, sensitive and calm, is trying to get a start on adult life while struggling to hold the pieces of his life together. Sam is a gorgeous distraction. But you can only avoid reality for so long, and both Sam and Lucas know their relationship can't last. Nobody can be this happy forever, surely?

Okay Days tells the story of the rise and fall of Sam and Lucas's affection for each other, looks unflinchingly at male body dysmorphia and women's reproductive rights, and the pitfalls of modern love. When is okay good enough? And what are we willing to lose in the search for a life that is much better than just okay?

‘A beautifully-observed portrait of self-discovery and uncertain love. Jenny's sharp and evocative prose gave me a feeling of immense nostalgia for London's long summer days’ – Natasha Brown, author of Assembly

‘I'm obsessed by Okay Days. A gorgeous, twenty-first-century London love story: intelligent, honest and moving’ – Huma Qureshi, author of Things We Do Not Tell the People We Love

‘A truly wonderful novel which I absolutely tore through. Sexy, tender and so intelligent on its navigation of modern life, I adored it!’ – Wiz Wharton, author of Ghost Girl, Banana

‘I adored spending time with Sam and Luc ... and found my thoughts straying to them when away from the page. Okay Days is charming and clever and somehow manages to be both warm and affectionate and cooly detached. Bravo Jenny Mustard’ – Chloë Ashby, author of Wet Paint

‘Jenny Mustard has crafted characters and prose that bristle and sparkle on the page. Sam and Luc are so real to me now that they still live on inside my head, long after I closed the book. A fantastic debut from a promising literary talent’ – Nick Bradley, author of The Cat and The City
