“As long as you don't ask for help out loud, there is always a chance that in principle you could be saved.” Welcome to adulthood. Yesterday student Iris leaves London for New York to continue studying writing. And while her best friend works hard to win a prestigious scholarship and begins a dubious affair with an older man, and her boyfriend finds himself increasingly immersed in the turbulent life of a rising music star, Iris can't help but feel that while their world is growing bigger and bigger, her own is shrinking, crushing her more and more every day. They video call, send each other playlists, quote “The Art of War,” discuss politics, make sarcastic remarks, experiment, walk on the edge, struggle with mental disorders and struggle to understand , who they are in this world and to each other, and how to live when you’re just over twenty. A frank, caustic, but at the same time such a close and understandable novel.
