Happy Hour
by Marlowe Granados
I really enjoyed reading Happy Hour but can see why it’s not for everyone. It is plotless fiction (which I’m a fan of) and I found it really entertaining and funny at times. I laughed aloud several times throughout the book. I enjoyed the writing and Isa’s observations and it also reminded me of a time in my early 20s when I was kind of meandering in another country without a real plan (not that this means Isa and Gala represent all people in their early 20s but I did connect with it based on my own experiences).
“We shared a taxi downtown. It was my favourite time of evening, when the sun starts to set and the lights come on in the streets and it's all blue and yellow. It's the time when people come home and turn on a lamp, and no one thinks to draw their curtains just yet. Civil dusk, it's called. It's the only hour in any city where everything suddenly turns familiar.”
