Acerca de esta escucha

“This is such a love story to cities & people & heartbreaks, death & loss. It's not at all corny, it's smart. But I just finished it & it made me cry.”—Eileen Myles

"Signals the arrival of a novelist sure to resonate with young people who endeavor to make intimate connections."—The Washington Post

"Like the book version of a Richard Curtis film, but with more grit, more bathroom sex and a literal beached whale."—GQ

For fans of Sally Rooney and Torrey Peters, a stunning debut that follows a vibrant multi-generational cast of characters through a London heatwave as their simmering tensions and secrets come to a head over a feverish, life-changing weekend.

Summer in London stops for no one. Not the half-naked drunks and stoners, the bachelorette parties glugging from bejewelled bottles, the drag queens puffing on hurried cigarettes. It’s June 2019, and everyone has converged on the city’s parks, beer gardens, and street corners to revel in the collective joys of being alive.

Everyone but Maggie. She’s 30, pregnant, and broke. Faced with moving back to the town she fought to escape, she’s wondering if having a baby with boyfriend Ed will be the last spontaneous act of her life. Ed, meanwhile, is trying to run from his past with Maggie’s best friend Phil and harboring secret dreams of his own.

Phil hates his office job and is living for the weekend, while falling for his housemate, Keith. But there’s a problem: Keith has a boyfriend and there might not be room for three people in the relationship. Then there’s Rosaleen, Phil’s mother, who’s tired of feeling like a side character in her own life. She’s just been diagnosed with cancer and is travelling to London to tell Phil, if she can ever get hold of him.

As Saturday night approaches, all their lives are set to change forever. Temperatures are soaring and the weekend is about to begin…

Strikingly heartfelt, sexually charged, and disarmingly comic, Oisín McKenna’s debut is a mesmerizing dive into the soul of a city and a searing look at what it takes to build a life there.

This book was amazing! The character development and how you get closer and further from each throughout the book is incredible. The ~gay underbelly~ aspects of London inspired me to try new things in my own life. I LOVED this book 10/10

An intimate cast trying to find the courage to be honest

This was a character study on how we navigate those small (or sometimes huge) huge distances or walls between those we are closest too. Really lovely narration, and very real feeling heartfelt characters trying their best. Only qualm with plot is that it sometimes felt a little *too* nostalgia heavy, but that’s just a personal preference and not a real criticism of the book.

Amazing Narration

The narration is extremely well done and really enhanced the characters. Her voice keeps you invested in the story
