Books Okay Days: A joyous ode to being in love' Stylist  by Jenny Mustard (Author)

"Okay Days: A joyous ode to being in love" by Jenny Mustard is a modern love story that follows the rise and fall of the relationship between Sam, a 28-year-old Swedish woman, and Lucas, a 27-year-old man, during three summer months in London. The novel is told from both of their perspectives, capturing the intensity and complexity of new love, self-discovery, and the challenges of adult life. It explores themes such as male body dysmorphia, women's reproductive rights, and the realities of relationships, painting a vivid picture of modern romance with sharp, evocative prose reminiscent of Sally Rooney and Naoise Dolan.

The story highlights the joyous and messy nature of love, portraying moments of happiness, confusion, and the inevitable difficulties that come with trying to maintain a relationship amidst personal struggles. The setting of London plays a significant role, almost like a third character, enriching the atmosphere and emotional depth of the narrative.
