During the 90s, school was fun and well-funded, the world's leaders were predominantly liberal and the internet was still a clunky background concept. The couple's relationship is uneven and stormy. They are gossiped about, take lovers, travel separately to different continents, meet each other's parents, use drugs, move in together, harm one another and suffer police interference.
This novel is meant to entertain and x-ray a relationship in process from unlikely beginnings to ultimate failure. Its Gen-X tone is airy, breezy and festive, true to the decade hosting it. Love may never feel this way again, making Undocumented a must-read.
