For fans of Sally Rooney and Torrey Peters, this debut novel follows a cast of intricately linked characters during a heatwave in London, where simmering tensions and secrets culminate over a life-changing weekend. In June 2019, amidst the hottest weather on record and a whale stranded in the Thames, four old acquaintances seek more from life. On the summer solstice, their paths converge at a party that will alter their futures. Maggie, a once-aspiring artist turned waitress, is pregnant and preparing to leave the city she loves with her boyfriend Ed, who struggles with his own inadequacies as a bike courier. He hopes for a fresh start with Maggie and their baby, while grappling with a secret past of fleeting encounters with strangers and a complicated history with Maggie’s best friend, Phil. Phil, who drifts through his office job, is on the verge of his first real relationship with his roommate Keith. They share an illegal warehouse commune with other creatives, the venue for the pivotal party. As the temperature rises, Maggie, Ed, and Phil must confront their intertwined pasts and aspirations before the weekend concludes. Strikingly heartfelt and disarmingly comic, this addictive debut offers a poignant exploration of the challenges young adults face while trying to forge meaningful lives in a complex city.
