Description

Okay Days. It asks, when is okay good enough?. And what are we willing to lose in the pursuit of a life that is more than just okay?. Language : English. Binding : Hardcover. "Okay Days" is hailed as "a perfect Millennial love story ... with its acidic dialogue and languid sex scenes. A charming and clever romance, a perfect summer read," according to the Irish Times. This novel offers an utterly immersive experience, reminiscent of Sally Rooney, and is described by Stylist as "a complex and joyous ode to being in love, messing up, and finding your way." The story follows Sam, a 28-year-old Swedish woman who is carefree and chaotic. During a work placement in London over three sticky summer months, she falls hard for Lucas, a man she first met as a teenager. Lucas, 27, is sensitive and calm, trying to piece together his adult life. Sam becomes a gorgeous distraction, but both know their relationship can't last forever. The question looms: can anyone be this happy indefinitely? "Okay Days" delves into the rise and fall of Sam and Lucas's affection, unflinchingly examining male body dysmorphia, women's reproductive rights, and the pitfalls of modern love. It asks, when is okay good enough? And what are we willing to lose in the pursuit of a life that is more than just okay? Chigozie Obioma, author of "The Fishermen," praises the novel as "an intimate drama of what matters in stories: relationships. Mustard is a talented portraitist in whose hands these two characters become real, enthralling, and viscerally realized. It is one of the most entertaining novels I have read of the times we live in." Natasha Brown, author of "Assembly," describes it as "a beautifully-observed portrait of self-discovery and uncertain love," with Jenny's sharp and evocative prose evoking immense nostalgia for London's long summer days. Elaine Feeney, author of "How To Build A Boat," finds it "fresh and sharply observant ... One of the most intriguing books I've read in some time." Meanwhile, Annie Lord, author of "Notes on Heartbreak," calls it "tender and spellbinding," noting that "Okay Days breaks you all the way open."
