| Description: | Select Guide Rating This is a novel of epic friendship. We meet Clarissa, Rachel, Nate, and Dev in their last year at a liberal arts college, where these four friends are preparing to take their first steps into adulthood. Then they do. We follow them for fifteen years, through their twenties and then their thirties as their lives change and complicate, as do the ties between them. Two find fame, two sacrifice idealism for a secure paycheck. Two are locked in a will-they-won''t-they holding pattern. Some of them mature into fabulous human beings. Others lose their footing, and let their friends down with catastrophic results. This novel is a meditation on life and friendship, and exemplifies Lauryn''s talent for writing utterly relatable stories and lovable characters. Who We Are Now examines way that our early relationships encourage us forward and sometimes hold us back. It questions how the seemingly small decisions we make in our youth send us down wildly diverging paths. In other words, this is a perfect novel for the current zeitgeist, as we all assess and reassess our priorities in a fast-changing world. |
