The Cocktail Crowd

By Josehine Narkour Nartey

THE COCKTAIL CROWD

When six strangers lose their jobs in the same brutal corporate downsizing, they make a pact over cheap cocktails: document their unemployment journey by visiting a different bar each week. What starts as desperate content creation becomes something none of them expected-a family.

Zara, Maya, Noah, Juli n, Benji, and Yvette transform their weekly meetups into The Cocktail Crowd-a brutally honest podcast about modern life's beautiful disasters. But as their audience explodes from dozens to hundreds of thousands, they must navigate viral fame while protecting the authentic connection that made them special.

From karaoke catastrophes to public breakdowns, The Cocktail Crowd is a love letter to chosen family and the radical act of being exactly who you are in a world that profits from your insecurities.

Perfect for fans of Beach Read and Anxious People, this debut novel captures the millennial experience with humor, heart, and the kind of authentic friendship that makes you believe in humanity again.

Sometimes the most beautiful thing you can build from the wreckage of your old life is the family you choose-one cocktail, one conversation, one vulnerable moment at a time.
