Okay Days

Sam is 28, Swedish and spending the summer in London. Here she gets involved with Lucas, a man she first met as a teenager, who is working at a boutique clothing store, trying to get a foot on the corporate ladder, and struggling to hold the pieces of his life together - Sam is a gorgeous distraction. But you can only avoid reality for so long, and both Sam and Lucas know their relationship can't last. Nobody can be this happy forever, surely?
Told in alternating chapters, Okay Days tells the rise and fall of Sam and Lucas's affection for each other, over the course of a year. Set between London, Stockholm and Greece, and exploring the ideas of reproductive choice, body image and the pitfalls of modern love, Okay Days asks what it is worth sacrificing for a life which is better than just okay.
