Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan

Ava moved from Dublin to Hong Kong to teach english to children. Her job is not rewarding and she clearly doesn't make enough money to live the way she would like. She meets Julian, a British banker who is content to share his big flat, easy going friendship and his big bed. She wants more but doesn't know what. Ava then meets Edith a Hong Kong native and falls head over heels in love, she thinks. The big dilemma is that Julian is coming back after months of business overseas, Ava is watching his flat and doesn't have anywhere else to go and Edith doesn't know or understand about her relationship to Julian. Decidedly Millennial- Ava wants it all , doesn't want any risk and still needs everyone's approval but a new voice suggests taking the leap of faith to find out what your heart really wants.  3 1/2 stars
