‘A perfect Millennial love story ... with its acidic dialogue and languid sex scenes. A charming and clever romance, a perfect summer read’ – Irish Times. ‘Utterly immersive ... reminiscent of Sally Rooney and a complex, joyous ode to love, messing up, and finding your way’ – Stylist. Sam, 28, is a carefree Swede doing a work placement in London for three sticky summer months. She falls hard for Lucas, 27, a sensitive man she first met as a teenager. While Lucas struggles to piece his life together, Sam becomes a captivating distraction. However, both know their relationship can't last; happiness seems fleeting. The narrative explores the rise and fall of their affection, addressing male body dysmorphia, women's reproductive rights, and the challenges of modern love. It questions when "okay" is good enough and what sacrifices are made in the pursuit of a better life. ‘A beautifully-observed portrait of self-discovery and uncertain love. Jenny's sharp prose evokes immense nostalgia for London's long summer days’ – Natasha Brown. ‘Fresh and sharply observant ... One of the most intriguing books I've read’ – Elaine Feeney. ‘Tender and spellbinding, it breaks you all the way open’ – Annie Lord. ‘An intimate drama of relationships, Mustard's characters become real and enthralling. It’s one of the most entertaining novels of our times’ – Chigozie Obioma.
