"I loved this book not just from the first chapter or the first page but from the first paragraph... The voice is just so honest and riveting and insightful about creativity and life." —Curtis Sittenfeld 

An extraordinary new novel of art, love, and ambition from Lily King, the New York Times bestselling author of Euphoria

Following the breakout success of her critically acclaimed and award-winning novel Euphoria, Lily King returns with another instant New York Times bestseller: an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman.

Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink.

Writers & Lovers follows Casey—a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist—in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers & Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another.

Beautifully written. Absolutely loved this book... I found myself getting identifying with the author.I could relate to many of the emotions pertaining to the mother daughter relationship and loss

Spectacular. By far one of my favorite books ever written.

Begins slow, then picks up. You feel you almost know Casey...... enjoyed it thoroughly

Disjointed but interesting. Very rambling, but I believe intentionally so.

Amazing!. Couldn’t put it down.

Eh. I read the first chapter and it didn’t hook me. It’s kind of slow and I feel like there’s no real pull towards the character. I didn’t continue to chapter two…

Addicting!. I just started to read again and its usually non fiction but this book was so addicting. I finished in 3 days!

Good. It’s a nice book, it just didn’t wow me yk

Incredible Book. This is a modern classic!

AMAZING. AMAZING

Memorably Moving. Camilla “Casey” is one of those characters that you can’t easily shake off. She’s as stubborn as your favorite friend, as broken as you’ve felt at least once, as committed as you would like to be to your passion, & as beaten down as life can do to us all. I love the way Ms. King’s storytelling transported me, not only to a time before tools of instant communication, but also to the inner-workings of the writer community. We’ve heard, seen, and read the story of the actor striving for her “big break” so many times, it’s become quite stale. However, the writer’s equivalent: struggling to find the words to fill the pages, then the subsequent battle of transforming those pages into a tangible product, felt like a refreshing experience to consume (or devour in less than 2 days). Beautifully written and memorably moving, “Writers & Lovers” has quickly become my favorite book I’ve read this year.

loved this book. This book is written so beautifully. It is realistic, witty, and relatable. I loved it and could not recommend it more.

So depressing. I couldn’t even finish it… why would I want to read about a person being so miserable. If you want to read about depressing people this is for you.
