The Mutual Friend

0/5 ( ratings)

From the co-creator of How I Met Your Mother, a hilarious and thought-provoking comedy of manners 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 on top of all that, she just got kicked out of her apartment to make room for her roommate's fianc�'s typewriters. If she can 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 and his picture-perfect wife's emotional breakdown. There's her chaotic new roommate's thirst for adventure, constantly getting them both in trouble. And, of course, there's the biggest distraction of all: love.

Within the story of one summer in one woman's life, our omniscient narrator unearths an epic tale, 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--that reveals how connected we all truly are.
