Description

A Best Literary Novel of 2025 from ELLE A searing debut novel of envy, longing, and regret across three lives and two countries that asks how far we’ll go for a friendship, a romance, a dream. Ye Lian is thriving in Beijing. She has a well-paid job, a nice boyfriend, and plans to marry and move into a luxury high-rise apartment. She’s wanting for nothing–until her childhood best friend, Luo Wenyu, comes whirling back into her life after a decade in California with seemingly everything–a successful career as an influencer, a millionaire American fiancé, and a bespoke mansion in the Beijing suburbs–throwing Lian’s own reliable choices into high relief. As the two women rekindle their friendship, Wenyu reveals a shocking secret about a past love that pushes Lian to question her own relationship. A few neighborhoods away, aging architect Song Chen is forced to confront his own past and the dissolution of his marriage as he’s tasked with building Wenyu’s dream home. And when the dark side of Wenyu’s enviable life emerges and threatens everything Lian and Wenyu have built for themselves, they must make a choice between the stable known and the frightening unknown that may have devastating and unexpected consequences. In girlhood memories and karaoke afternoons in Xidan Square, in aspirational YouTube channels and billboard ads, in private hotel rendezvous and secret WeChat messages, Claire Jia’s debut novel is a love letter to friendship; a powder keg of impossible, interwoven desires; a siren song that explores why, even as it destroys us, we always want more.

    • A Captivating Story of Emotion and Reflection
Format: Paperback
I truly enjoyed this novel because its vivid descriptions made it easy for me to imagine each scene. The choice of words, the seamless scene transitions, the depth of the conversations, and the passion conveyed throughout the story were all wonderful.

    • Overthink All of Your Life Decisions lol
Format: Kindle
This book took me a total of 5 hours and 19 minutes. It is a 300-page book that could have been less. I have to admit I didn’t know the point it was going to try to prove; you get such a strong sense of regret, childhood friendships, and growing apart. After the first 60 pages, I understood; the author was great at portraying contradicting feelings towards friends and partners. Where you are in life, if you’re choosing the right path, and the constant overthinking of your decisions. It was incredibly relatable, but we hit a point where the author started telling me and showing me, which made the book feel a bit drawn out. I understand that some areas require detail, but some things could have been omitted. Thanks to NetGalley and Tin House Books publishing. ... show more

    • A wonderful read!!
Format: Audiobook
I loved this book. Her writing style is beautiful, but it is her ability to show such compassion about complex friendships, and how they evolve, that made me feel so connected with the characters. A very memorable and wonderful book!!!!
