From the creator of the series “How I Met Your Mother.” A fascinating story awaits you, the action takes place against the backdrop of atmospheric Manhattan. But the most interesting thing is that one of the chapters is told from the point of view of a computer! Carter Bays, the creator of the series “How I Met Your Mother,” knows a lot about fascinating stories. His new heroes are looking for the meaning of life, finding faith, falling in love and breaking up, and they do it all without letting go of their phones. Alice dreams of becoming a doctor. She has a thick yellow textbook and 93 days to prepare for the entrance exams. Bill is a successful IT specialist. He received a lot of money from the sale of his share of the business, but the dollars did not make him happy. And then there are Bobert, Roxanne, Felix and Pamela, and each of them is worthy of attention. The destinies of all the heroes are surprisingly connected. There's a long summer ahead in Manhattan. The summer that will change everything. “This is the most unusual and fascinating novel I have read in recent years. Carter Bays created characters who are messy, flawed, and fascinating.” – Claire Pooley, British writer “A very kind book about how personal relationships are much more important than virtual ones. The Internet has taken over a significant part of our lives, but we must not forget about real, living friends and relatives - only thanks to them we become ourselves.” – Yulia Khokhlova, translator
