Morgan and Hannah are part of a group of fellow twenty-something Canadians struggling to navigate a maze of love affairs, failed relationships, obsessions, and departures from the familiar—each with a distinct persona molded by secrets and deceptions. Set against the acutely-drawn urban landscapes of Montreal and Vancouver, this gritty novel deftly shifts perspective from the innocent and idealistic Hannah to the streetwise and damaged Morgan, as well as to their friends and the men in their lives. The book eloquently exposes the lies people tell themselves and others in order to cope with life, and reveals the ongoing alienation and isolation of a world where the only reliable narrator is the future.
