AND WE WERE LIKE

AND WE WERE LIKE moves from New York to Venice to Cambridge to tell a story full of romance and wonder. The book has heart and humor and literary merit that hits you instantly: "Caroline Calloway is inventing the Instagram memoir. Through a series of photos and long descriptions depicting her (pretty glamorous) life as a student at Cambridge University, Calloway has totally changed the way a social media site like Instagram is used." Bustle

The journalists see the evocative photos and then read the remarkably well-written posts and realize very quickly that there is something very special in what Caroline is doing. The confluence of talent through several different media on display in each post is striking. All of which is a lead-in to this point: This is going to blow you away. Like, electric shocks up your spine as you are reading and all you are thinking over and over again is, “holy smokes this is good.” Candace Bushnell meets Marina Keegan meets Humans of New York good. I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley good. That kind of good.

“It’s a brilliant concept: rather than posting real-time updates as they happen, Caroline’s been structuring her Instagram posts about a year behind her real-life happenings — making each photo a true fragment of the memoir she’s in the process of working on... The result is an utterly vibrant narrative." HelloGigles
