The Mutual Friend: A Novel by Carter Bays

 

"This is a rare thing: an original, intelligent novel that’s not just a perfect summer beach read, but one that deserves serious awards consideration as well. Put down your phone and pick it up… A major accomplishment.” — Kirkus (starred) From the co-creator of How I Met Your Mother , a hilarious and thought-provoking debut novel set in New York City, following a sprawling cast of characters as they navigate life, love, loss, ambition, and spirituality—without ever looking up from their phones. It’s the summer of 2015, and Alice Quick needs to get to work. She’s twenty-eight years old, grieving her mother, barely scraping by as a nanny, and freshly kicked out of her apartment. If she can just get her act together and sign up for the MCAT, she can start chasing her dream of becoming a doctor . . . but in the Age of Distraction, the distractions are so distracting . There’s her tech millionaire brother’s religious awakening. His picture-perfect wife’s emotional breakdown. Her chaotic new roommate’s thirst for adventure. And, of course, there’s the biggest distraction of all: Love. From within the story of one summer in one woman’s life, an epic tale is unearthed, spanning continents and featuring a tapestry of characters tied to one another by threads both seen and unseen. Filled with all the warmth, humor, and heart that gained How I Met Your Mother its cult following, The Mutual Friend captures in sparkling detail the chaos of contemporary life, a life lived simultaneously in two different worlds—the physical one and the one behind our screens—and reveals how connected we all truly are.

Know up front that this sprawls- that there are a lot (a lot) of words at first- and then it settles down. Sort of. Know that everything will eventually connect. Alice loses her apartment and finds herself living in a basement with Roxy who works for the Mayor and dates people she meets, including Bob, on the Suitoronomy app. Bob has, to put it mildly, a problem. Alice's brother Bill is a tech millionaire who finds Buddhism; his wife Pitapat, is struggling with Crohn's disease and, ,well, Bill. Alice has decided to take the MCAT and is trying to study, with limited success, in part because of distractions from Roxy, whose life takes a serious left turn. This is very much about the impact of social media, artificial intelligence, finding yourself, and life in New York. There are some wonderful vignettes. To be honest, I struggled with the first 40 percent of this book, which felt a tad too frantic but then it becomes a more conventional, albeit unusual novel with a narrator (no spoilers) who pops in periodically. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. Be patient and you will be rewarded.
