Acerca de esta escucha
"I've been searching for a book with female friendships at the heart of it that doesn't feel flippant or melodramatic and I've found it!" —Jennette McCurdy
Two women test how much weight their friendship can hold in this poignant and tender novel.
Roommates since college, Jess and Ren have built a strong—if at times codependent—friendship. Now navigating their late thirties, the women co-own a weathered beachfront home, comother a rescued shelter pup and have inadvertently centered their lives around each other.
Jess is clever and driven with a lucrative career running her own real estate brokerage. Magnetic but aimless, Ren has been making margaritas at the same local dive and teaching dance classes at the same run-down gym for well over a decade. After a one-night stand with a tourist leads to pregnancy, Ren realizes motherhood may be the change she’s been waiting for, and the friends make a plan to raise the child together.
Ren is excitedly pushing toward her due date when the baby’s father resurfaces, forcing Jess to face the foreboding notion that for the first time in eighteen years, they may not want the same thing.
In this stunning debut spanning nine pivotal months in the lives of two very different women, Zoë Eisenberg examines female friendship with emotional precision and offers an intimate look at who we belong to—and why.

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Historia
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Historia
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Deep in the heart of London, a photographer walks the streets and captures whatever catches his eye: an old man drinking coffee; a beautiful woman sipping champagne in St. Pancras station; a cloud of moths, disturbed, taking flight across the sky. But with each photo, he captures something unseen by the eye, and as each negative develops—revealing a person he hadn’t met, a danger he hadn’t noticed, and a world he hadn’t seen—he is drawn further into a hidden war.

Jessi Hempel was raised in a seemingly picture-perfect, middle-class American family. But the truth was far from perfect. Her father was constantly away from home, traveling for work, while her stay-at-home mother became increasingly lonely and erratic. Growing up, Jessi and her two siblings struggled to make sense of their family, their world, their changing bodies, and the emotional turmoil each was experiencing. And each, in their own way, was hiding their true self from the world.

A beautifully written depiction of love, friendship, loss, and re-birth
Zoe Eisenberg’s debut novel is a masterpiece — tackling subject matter with a fresh and refreshing perspective. She captures the depth of a rich and textured friendship with clarity and insight. The same can be said about her prose. I’ve known these friendships all my life but never had the words to express them. Now I finally do

Fantastic Depiction of Female Friendship in Hawaii
“I’d always liked being the best thing that happened to someone’s evening.”
Significant Others is a fantastic novel written from the perspectives of two young women sharing a moment in each others’ lives before, during and after a key event. Eisenberg’s writing is grounded and natural, with a lyrical quality that captures wonderful human details and observations with a subtle poetic flair. Descriptions of characters jump off the page with the conversational ease of a friend recounting a recent experience, but with a specificity that develops the world and the psychology of the characters within it. Lines pop out that are evocative and funny: “You looked at her body and imagined it wet”; “Smelling of reef-safe sunscreen”; “Her hands two lively birds at the ends of her wrists”; and, disparagingly, “She probably bought her own health insurance, too.”
Eisenberg is able to define her competing protagonists through their thinking and inner logic, but also through their relationships to each other, the contradictions between their desires and their actions, and the way they elevate and rationalize certain choices both to themselves and the characters around them. Eisenberg’s ability to genuinely create both of these personas through dueling first-person narration is superb, and she authentically navigates the conflicts enveloping the women while developing them as distinct individuals over the course of the story.
The friendship Jess and Ren share is the heart of this story, and it’s refreshing to see female friendship explored on the page in a way that examines human flaws with protagonists who are not always totally likable, but are allowed to be selfish, conflicted, and human at times when other writers would be looking to keep things neat. It’s impressive on Eisenberg’s behalf to have flawed characters resonate so well, and at times you find yourself rooting for one over the other, or vice versa, and not because you want either Jess or Ren to succeed and the other to fail, but because at that place in the story you genuinely empathize with that particular character and her thought process. Friendship is messy! Young adulthood is messy! Art should be messy!
There are descriptions in here, usually of men in the book, that I had to write down because the framing was simultaneously simple and removed, yet sublimely poetic, indicative of a way the protagonist views the world. “He put his tongue inside my mouth outside of his Prius”; “As if his accomplishments were more embarrassing than his sandals”; and “Ignoring the bacterial tang of his breath, thinking of how there should have been a pineapple poster up there” during a make-out scene. These moments are funny, relatable, and succinct, and serve as a good window into the mind of the narrator for each of these passages. Another one, “As if I could get pregnant by taking a turn too fast on 130” made me laugh out loud.
A brutal line that resonates with me well after finishing the novel seems to sum up an underlying tension between the protagonist friends: “When it was over I realized I liked the way she liked me more than I liked her.” Woof. Who hasn’t felt this way at some point, or felt like they were on the opposite side of that sentiment? It’s such a simple, resonant way to describe power imbalances in relationships, expectations we hold for others in a relationship, and the realization after-the-fact of one’s own selfishness in the human desire to feel wanted and loved.
I walked away from Significant Others with an appreciation for Eisenberg’s ability to tell a story naturally, with real-life stakes but no inflated or inauthentic conflict. The novel is a beautiful foray into young adult female friendship, and it does its readers and characters justice by finding poetry and beauty in the interactions we have with those we love, those we want to love us, and those who we hurt and disregard in the process of figuring out what makes us “complete.”

Surprisingly poignant friendships
Really really impressed with how heartbreaking and beautiful this book was. Felt like I knew these people and their successes and mistakes were mine to partake in as well as theirs.
Look forward to reading more by Zoe.
