Summary

Graduating into a recession, Sneha tries on adulthood like an ill-fitting suit. Moving to a new city, she embraces all that it has to offer: friends that feel like family, gay bars, house parties and new romances. But when painful secrets rear their heads, corporate jobs go off the rails and evictions loom, Sneha and her community find themselves looking for a new way to live.

All This Could Be Different is a novel about being young in the twenty-first century. About work, precarity, distant parents, found family, activism, queer love, sex and hope. About knowing that all this could be different.

Critic reviews

"An extraordinary novel, spiny and delicate, scathingly funny and wildly moving'." (Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies)

"Sarah Thankam Mathews' prose is undeniable...she captures the sneaky, unsaying parts of longing." (Raven Leilani, author of Luster)

"Some books are merely luminous...this one is iridescent." (Susan Choi, author of Trust Exercise)

A tale for the 21st century

A brilliant book, and a brilliant performance. This had everything. If you are narrow minded and anti woke, don't read, but if like me you believe that people have always been diverse and complicated, but have not been given a platform to talk about it, and that what we see in the world today is what has always existed, but just invisible, then read this book. Or better still, listen to it. The reading is faultless. Every character uniquely voiced. Themes: promiscuity, sexual assault, racism, bullying, socialism, gender, gay sex, culture, friendship.
