I spite of some negative reviews, I liked this book and read it avidly. You do not get a young concert pianist as the main character every day in modern literature, and a believable one at that ! Celine is being portrayed well and she would deserve a loyal husband, therefore unfortunately not Luke. The problem of the book comes with this husband-to-be Luke, his restlessness and promiscuity, also him not having a passion comparable to Celine’s. A lot of the dialogues, reflections, comments in the book are very clever, funny, well written and a treat !

The group of young people being described though are leaning towards a free-floating, cynical and uncommitted lifestyle, dismissive of all overarching principles, which seems to let them go round in circles blindly and aimlessly. They will be old before their time. Hopefully, this will not apply to their author.

Very easy reading for those who English is not our first language and refuse to read the “classics”.

Made me laugh and disconnect from social media for a while, witch is a relief nowadays.

Would definitely recommend for a short reading.
