Berlin

Bea Setton

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind.Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory.But one night, something strange, dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool.Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her?Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation.

    This novel embodies the beautiful stage of one's 20s I like to call, "No thoughts, just vibes". Everything is a foreign land (and in this novel quite literally), overthinking social interactions is the norm, and everyone is confused by everything. Daphne is growing through the internal chaos of growing, being on your own, and overall navigating what it means to pursue what you want & while having no idea what you really want. This novel was funny,dark, and chaotic.

    Really enjoyed this short-ish novel and could have happily had it continue. Funny, disturbing and kinda relatable. Definitely recommend.
