'Sarah Thankam Mathews' All This Could Be Different is an exquisite debut. I loved these flawed, funny friends and I rooted for them, and as I raced toward the end I felt an ache in my chest, missing them already' - Dawnie Walton 'Sharply observed and deeply empathetic, All This Could Be Different is a gorgeous story of dreaming and daring against the odds. Sarah Thankam Mathews writes like a blaze, and this book will remind you what it is to be young and powerfully alive' - C Pam Zhang As Sneha navigates the hilarious and deadly serious work of being a good friend, lover, daughter, immigrant, adult, queer woman, and worker under late stage capitalism, what emerges is a portrait of a woman determined to live her life to its brim - no matter what. 'Battle cry and love song both, All This Could Be Different is an ode - tender, sexy, and smart - to coming of age in turbulent times. All This Could Be Different is a sorrowing observation of our contemporary precarity, but 'All this could be different' is equally - and ultimately - a declaration, an electrifying act of resistance' - Susan Choi 'Some books are merely luminous-this one is iridescent: with joy and pain, isolation and communion, solemnity and irreverent humour. In All This Could Be Different, she captures the sneaky, unsayable parts of longing and writes sharply about the long shadow of family.' - Raven Leilani 'Sarah Thankam Mathews' prose is undeniable and hyper attuned to the terrible privacy of the mind.
Sarah Thankam Mathews is a brilliant writer, one whose every ringing sentence holds both bite and heart.' - Lauren Groff ' All This Could Be Different is an extraordinary novel, spiny and delicate, scathingly funny and wildly moving.
