London Is the Best City in America
London Is the Best City in America | Laura Dave
2 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
The first novel from the acclaimed author of Eight Hundred Grapes Emmy Everett is reluctantly heading home to New York for her brother Josh’s wedding. She has spent the last three years in a fishing town in Rhode Island and, having little to show for it, she doesn’t particularly want to answer the questions she is sure to face about her (ex)-fiance, her (questionable) career choices, her (unknown) future. But she is still shocked when her typically resolute brother Josh confesses he is having doubts about his imminent marriage – and he asks Emmy the hardest question of all: what do I do now? With seventy-two hours until the wedding, Emmy embarks with Josh on a road trip to help him find a mystery woman, and to answer some long overdue questions about who he wants to spend his life with. It isn’t only Josh who has some lessons to learn. Along the way, Emmy discovers some undeniable truths about what she wants from her own life; and she begins to realize that perhaps her own happy ending is not as far away as it seems. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Great family drama between siblings with a deep message and lots of memorable quotes. I really enjoyed the complex relationships and the dialogue between them, and found it quite realistic. Quick, easy read and a great way to end the year! 🎉

I adore Laura Dave and didn‘t realize this was her debut! Emmy leaves Matt in the middle of the night and later returns home for her brother‘s wedding. But his life is complicated as well and when an old boyfriend of hers shows up, Emmy has many difficult decisions to make. Told with wry wit and compassion, the book reveals her empathetic nature in the face of adversity as well as the lovely bond she shares with her brother!
