Twenty-one and friendless, Sickan arrives at Stockholm University utterly unprepared for adult life. After a chronically lonely childhood, the city represents a fresh start, a chance to finally make friends and the right kind of mistakes. And just as Sickan begins to fit in, she meets Abbe: beautiful, confident, charming - and by some miracle he wants her too.
Tender and intelligent, What A Time To Be Alive is a story about class, sex, loneliness, and the trials of young womanhood. About asking yourself the question: how much of myself am I willing to sacrifice to simply be normal?
'Jenny Mustard writes with honesty and wit about the strange, mundane, and wondrous aspects of youth'
Aysegul Savas, author of The Anthropologists
