Adulthood - one of those things that Felix had imagined to be simpler. Not that he wouldn't make an effort; on the contrary: There hasn't been anything in his life for a long time that hasn't deserved the label 'reasonable.' He even meets up with his ex-boyfriend Martin every now and then, bravely pretending that he has long since moved on. Everything is terribly adult, and everything is terribly boring - if it weren't for his new roommate, who not only shakes up Felix's entrenched routine but also his feelings. And then there's Emilie, Felix's best friend, who turns his whole world upside down with a single question. After his highly acclaimed debut novel "Now We Are Young," Julian Mars captivates and sensitively explores the big questions and small happiness, as well as false hopes in his new book.
