I enjoyed this. it was a fun read with a great cast of characters and I loved the relationship between Belle and Rome.

P.S I can't help wondering if Belle is the woman Lexis saw n Rome's future?

Looking forward to the next book in the series!

There were a few serious ups and downs in this relationship; Travis' lack of control when another guy even so much as looked at Abby being one of them. But at the same time Abby doing some of the things she did made him be like that.

"Emma Straub and I went to high school together and there must've been something in the water! This is a great, true to life New York story taking the reader from college to midlife crisis. Filled with real life relationship issues — family, romance, humor! A great read!"

Soul-moving realism
This is probably my favourite Zadie Smith novel, deeply touching with characters bursting to life out of the pages. Hitting on themes of racial identity and pop culture, it is a brilliant contemporary take on what young adults are currently experiencing. From cultural appropriation to the effects of globalisation all summed up in the relationship of one young woman and her peers.

Her relationship with her mother is one of generational divide while with her friend Tracy is one of class divide. The protagonist's character is the epitome of confusion and attempting to find a place in the world. Well worth the praise.
