These Days Are Ours





An exhilarating, vivid coming-of-age story set in timelessly glamorous New York

Hailey and her friends are young, rich and beautiful. They have the world at their feet - and that's the problem.

Six months have passed since 9/11 and New York City is still reeling in shock, but for Hailey life seems to go on just the same as before. She's still madly in love with Brenner and he's still sending mixed signals back. She's still stuck living in her mum's Fifth Avenue penthouse, unable to find a job despite her expensive degree. Her family is as dysfunctional as ever and her trust-fund friends carry on partying every night like they're still students.

But just when Hailey is growing restless with a life of glittering parties, she meets Adrian. He's totally different from her usual crowd but he might just be exactly what she needs...

This irreverent, bittersweet coming-of-age story follows a generation of bright young things buckling under the pressure of having it all.

Praise for These Days Are Ours

These Days Are Ours is needle-sharp, utterly authentic, funny, and soaked in the particular melancholy that shrouded New York at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Michelle Haimoff is a literary Whit Stillman, and I tore through her novel with enormous enjoyment.

Nick Hornby, bestselling author of 'About A Boy' and 'How To Be Good'

Smart, witty, honest, and never anything less than utterly engaging

Jonathan Tropper, author of 'How to Talk to a Widower'

Engrossing . . . Haimoff's writing resonates with an authenticity and gravitas that books about girls trying to find themselves in the big city often lack. Her details about elite schools and childhood haunts in Manhattan pepper Hailey's memories in often touching ways. A thoughtful novel for our time
