About the book:

Love in the Big City is an energetic, joyful, and moving novel that depicts both the  glittering nighttime world of Seoul and the bleary-eyed morning-after.  Young is a cynical yet fun-loving Korean student who pinballs from home  to class to the beds of recent Tinder matches. He and Jaehee, his female  best friend and roommate, frequent nearby bars where they push away  their anxieties about their love lives, families, and money with rounds  of soju and ice-cold Marlboro Reds that they keep in their freezer. Yet  over time, even Jaehee leaves Young to settle down, leaving him alone to  care for his ailing mother and to find companionship in his  relationships with a series of men, including one whose handsomeness is  matched by his coldness, and another who might end up being the great  love of his life. A brilliantly written novel filled with powerful sensory descriptions and both humor and emotion, Love in the Big City is an exploration of millennial loneliness as well as the joys of queer life.
