The Adulterants by Joe Dunthorne

In a sharp, satirical exploration of modern adulthood, the story follows Ray, a tech journalist in his early thirties, as he navigates the tumultuous landscape of relationships, career, and the housing crisis in London. As Ray grapples with the impending responsibilities of fatherhood and the strains of a faltering marriage, his life spirals into a series of comedic misadventures. With a keen eye for the absurdities of contemporary life, the narrative delves into themes of maturity, fidelity, and the relentless pursuit of stability in an ever-changing world.
