"The world was changing rapidly around me and I was just running to catch up. But, sometimes it is nice to go for a jog."
Nora is stuck between a world of misery back at her apartment and the harsh, unloving reality just outside it. She's caught in the entanglement of what to do with her life when her bartender invites himself into her booth.
What starts as a slightly creepy opening line ends with what seems to be an offering to join a cult, maybe be murdered, or something else entirely. And, why walk back through her apartment door and into the violence behind it when she could open a new door? Nothing that bad could happen, surely!
Euphoric is a fascinating analysis on what would happen if the circle of life is broken, with a plot full of unexpected twists and turns. It is an entertaining, intricate and unpredictable science fiction novel.
