This irresistible debut, set in contemporary New York,
provides a sharp, insightful look into how the relationship
between two best friends changes when they are no longer
coming of age but learning how to live adult lives. One of Bustle’s 17 Of 2016’s Most Anticipated Books To Put
On Your Wishlist Immediately One of the Wall Street Journal’s Ten Titles to Watch in
Summer Fiction An Amazon Editors’ Beach Reads pick One of Newsday’s Best Summer Books 2016 One of PopSugar’s 31 Books You MUST Put in your Beach Bag A Miami Herald summer reads pick As close as sisters for twenty years, Sarah and Lauren have
been together through high school and college, first jobs
and first loves, the uncertainties of their twenties and the
realities of their thirties. Sarah, the only child of a prominent intellectual and a
socialite, works at a charity and is methodically planning
her wedding. Lauren—beautiful, independent, and
unpredictable—is single and working in publishing,
deflecting her parents’ worries and questions about her life
and future by trying not to think about it herself. Each
woman envies—and is horrified by—particular aspects of the
other’s life, topics of conversation they avoid with
masterful linguistic pirouettes. Once, Sarah and Lauren were inseparable; for a long a time
now, they’ve been apart. Can two women who rarely see one
other, selectively share secrets, and lead different lives
still call themselves best friends? Is it their abiding
connection—or just force of habit—that keeps them together? With impeccable style, biting humor, and a keen sense of
detail, Rumaan Alam deftly explores how the attachments we
form in childhood shift as we adapt to our adult lives—and
how the bonds of friendship endure, even when our paths diverge.
