Naoise Dolan meets Before Sunrise in this smart, sexy and spiky modern love story, from debut novelist and influencer Jenny Mustard
'A charming and clever romance'
Irish Times
'Tender and spell-binding, Okay Days breaks you all the way open'
Annie Lord, author of Notes on Heartbreak
'A beautifully observed portrait of self-discovery and uncertain love'
Natasha Brown, author of Assembly
'Reminiscent of Sally Rooney . . . a complex and joyous ode to being in love, messing up and finding your way' Stylist
Sam is 28, Swedish, carefree and chaotic. Over the course of three sticky summer months in London, she falls hard for Lucas.
Lucas, 27, sensitive and calm, is struggling to get a foothold in the adult world - Sam is a gorgeous distraction.
But you can only avoid reality for so long. Nobody can be this happy forever, can they?
Okay Days is the story of two people trying to hold the pieces of their life together, while also holding on to each other.
Praise for Okay Days: 'A joyous ode to being in love' - Stylist

Reminiscent of Sally Rooney . . . a complex and joyous ode to being in love, messing up and finding your way - Stylist
-
A delicious mix of sweet and salt, ennui and excitement, Okay Days crystallises something essential about the Millennial zeitgeist that will be devoured by fans of Sally Rooney and Naoise Dolan. This debut is so much more than just okay
-
Reading Okay Days is like drinking the ideal lime cordial, sweetness clarified by sharpness.
-
Jenny Mustard's writing is fresh and sharply observant. A writer full of insights on the human condition and relationships, I loved the off-kilter tone, and clever shifts in perspective between Lucas and Sam. Mustard is definitely reminiscent of Sally Rooney and Naoise Dolan but Okay Days is ultimately a slice of a new writer. She has her very own original rhythms; a smart eye for detail and compelling insights into love and life. One of the most intriguing books I've read in some time.
-
I'm obsessed by Okay Days. A gorgeous, twenty-first-century London love story: intelligent, honest and moving
-
A beautiful, bruising novel about love, sex and finding your place in the world. Okay Days is tender and humorous and ultimately uplifting. Sam and Lucas are unforgettable. Simply brilliant.
-
A truly wonderful novel which I absolutely tore through. Sexy, tender and so intelligent on its navigation of modern life. I adored it! With clear-eyed prose and laser focus, Okay Days is a rare thing. Both a love story with the intimate quality of the overheard and a modern parable of how we find meaning amidst a culture of transience
-
I absolutely loved Okay Days. It's so sharp and witty, and the relationship between Sam and Lucas is real in its complexity. With compassion, Jenny captures something raw and true, in beautiful, sparse prose
