Happy Hour

 This story is set in the summer of 2013 in New York City. The tale is told by 21 year old Isa as she struggles to make ends meet by selling clothes in a market with her friend Gala. Isa is more responsible that Gala and therefore tensions arise. I can't imagine living as these two women live. They go to bars and pray someone will pay for their drinks because they don't have the money. They don't have enough to eat but sometimes they go out to eat oysters. Happy Hour, by Marlow Granados, is a novel about a life foreign to me, the life is Isa and her friend Gala.
