Product Information
A New York Times Editors' Choice For fans of Schitt's Creek and Sally Rooney's Normal People , an irresistible and bighearted international bestseller that follows a brother and sister as they navigate queerness, multiracial identity, and the dramas big and small of their entangled, unconventional family, all while flailing their way to love. It's been a year since his ex-boyfriend dumped him and moved from Auckland to Buenos Aires, and Valdin is doing fine. He has a good flat with his sister Greta, a good career where his colleagues only occasionally remind him that he is the sole Maaori person in the office, and a good friend who he only sleeps with when he's sad. But when work sends him to Argentina and he's thrown back in his former lover's orbit, Valdin is forced to confront the feelings he's been trying to ignore--and the future he wants. Greta is not letting her painfully unrequited crush (or her possibly pointless master's thesis, or her pathetic academic salary...) get her down. She would love to focus on the charming fellow grad student she meets at a party and her friendships with a circle of similarly floundering twenty-somethings, but her chaotic family life won't stop intruding: her mother is keeping secrets, her nephew is having a gay crisis, and her brother has suddenly flown to South America without a word. Sharp, hilarious, and with an undeniable emotional momentum that builds to an exuberant conclusion, Greta & Valdin careens us through the siblings' misadventures and the messy dramas of their sprawling, eccentric Maaori-Russian-Catalonian family. An acclaimed bestseller in New Zealand, Greta & Valdin is fresh, joyful, and alive with the possibility of love in its many mystifying forms.

Reviews
" Greta & Valdin is hilarious, touching and hotly sublime. The kind of novel that simultaneously makes me wish I were funnier and absolves me from the need to try--I'll never be as funny as Rebecca K Reilly (and that's ok)." --Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea " Greta & Valdin feels somehow totally new and beautifully familiar at the same time, like the kind of book you've been longing to read your whole life. Part comedy of manners, part family epic and all contained within a compulsive, charming clutch of pages we couldn't put down. Both ruthless and hilarious, offering hope and a wink for queer romantics everywhere." --Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta, authors of The View Was Exhausting "Heartwarmingly tender and raucously funny, with the sophistication of a Shakespearean comedy, Greta & Valdin is replete with swoonworthy queer romance, hilariously eccentric sibling hijinks and mature reckoning with the complexities of family heritage. A deliciously perfectly bittersweet delight." --Leon Craig, author of Parallel Hells " Greta & Valdin is a complete world. I was totally captivated. It is warm and funny, inventive and charming, with a genuine and earned tenderness at its heart." --Kate Duignan, author of The New Ships and Breakwater "Reilly cleanses the reader's palate with regular and astringent, Underberg-grade shots of self-deprecating humour, relatable insights, and antics that make you lol. Actual lol. . . I read greedily, satiating my hunger for narrative and conflict [and] fascinated with how Reilly examines desire and its complications without tragedy, just the one black eye." --Becky Manawatu, The Pantograph Punch "This is a generous book. Generous in the humour it delivers; generous in its story about love lost, family, and our fragility and hurt; generous in its embrace of contemporary New Zealand. I read it during lockdown and . . . it reminded me that it is OK to find humour in difficult times, and to find joy and acceptance amongst a whole lot of mess. --Anna Rawhiti-Connell, The Spinoff "Delightful, funny, wonderful . . . I laughed my way through this book. An incredible novel from a young new writer. I heartily recommend it to everybody." --Claire Mabey, Afternoons with Jesse Mulligan "Greta & Valdin is fresh, funny, tangled and brilliant. I can't wait for someone to make the sitcom so I can keep Reilly's characters in my life." --Hannah Tunnicliffe, Kete Books "Reilly makes modern romance exciting and compelling in a way that reminded me of Sally Rooney. . . . Greta & Valdin is an amusing and vivacious romantic drama led by two hilarious and engaging queer main characters, and I don't think you could ask for much more from a novel in 2021." --Josie Shapiro, ReadClose, "Say hello to your new favorite fictional family. In the wrong hands [ Greta & Valdin ] could all be quirk for quirk''s sake, or a half-baked hybrid of Schitt''s Creek and The Royal Tenenbaums . But Reilly''s humor is so riotously specific, and the many moments of true poignancy so gently infused with that same humor, that the Vladisavljevics seem like no one but themselves. [. . . ] If Reilly won''t give us a sequel, then we can at least hope she won''t make us wait too long for her next novel. -- Kirkus Reviews (*starred*) "The laughs start early and go strong throughout this winsome story." -- San Francisco Chronicle , Most Anticipated Reads of 2024 "Charming. . . This offbeat millennial comedy has universal appeal." -- Publishers Weekly " Greta & Valdin is hilarious, touching and hotly sublime. The kind of novel that simultaneously makes me wish I were funnier and absolves me from the need to try--I''ll never be as funny as Rebecca K Reilly (and that''s OK)." --Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea "I can''t remember the last time I read a book that was as genuinely and uniquely funny as Greta & Valdin . But it''s also so much more than that. Reilly''s voice is wise and full of life, and her observations about queer love, heartbreak, and the complexities of family are poignant without ever succumbing to sentimentality. This is a wholly original, laugh-until-you-ugly-cry-on-the-subway debut." --Grant Ginder, author of The People We Hate at the Wedding "Hysterical, smart, and gay. I loved these characters so much. Greta & Valdin is an engrossing and charming read peppered with humour and insight. I can''t wait to read more from Rebecca K Reilly." --Emily Austin, author of Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead " Greta & Valdin feels somehow totally new and beautifully familiar at the same time, like the kind of book you''ve been longing to read your whole life. Part comedy of manners, part family epic and all contained within a compulsive, charming clutch of pages we couldn''t put down. Both ruthless and hilarious, offering hope and a wink for queer romantics everywhere." --Mikaella Clements and Onjuli Datta, authors of The View Was Exhausting "Heartbreaking, hilarious and completely beautiful; an unforgettable novel. Northern Hemisphere, you''re not ready for this!" --Nina Mingya Powles, author of Luminscent "Heartwarmingly tender and raucously funny, with the sophistication of a Shakespearean comedy, Greta & Valdin is replete with swoonworthy queer romance, hilariously eccentric sibling hijinks and mature reckoning with the complexities of family heritage. A deliciously perfectly bittersweet delight." --Leon Craig, author of Parallel Hells " Greta & Valdin is one of the few genuinely funny books I''ve ever read. Totally delightful, psychologically astute, and dry as an astronaut''s space cracker. It''s like if Elif Batuman wrote Franny and Zooey , but gay. I want the whole thing as a lower back tattoo." --Hera Lindsay Bird, award-winning poet "It''s easy for a book to be funny, but hard for it to be funny and passionate and stylish and insightful. Greta & Valdin nails it. It introduces the reader delightfully to its world, which resembles an international convention of fabulous cranks; it trusts us to see the beauty in them, and it rewards our trust. They should invent a lesbian Wes Anderson so that she can film it." --Isaac Fellman, author of Dead Collections "A big fat slice of joyful queer family life, peppered with messy breakups, bad dates and terrible decisions. You''re gonna fall in love with the warm, witty and utterly idiosyncratic Greta & Valdin ." --Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller, "Say hello to your new favorite fictional family. In the wrong hands [ Greta & Valdin ] could all be quirk for quirk's sake, or a half-baked hybrid of Schitt's Creek and The Royal Tenenbaums . But Reilly's humor is so riotously specific, and the many moments of true poignancy so gently infused with that same humor, that the Vladisavljevics seem like no one but themselves.

This offbeat millennial comedy has universal appeal." -- Publishers Weekly "Reilly writes with a dry, sly humor and great love for her characters. She brilliantly builds the world of the siblings bit by bit, like a jigsaw puzzle. . . All combine not just to make the world feel real and lived in, but also to explain why Greta and Valdin are the way they are. . . Ultimately joyous and life-affirming, Greta & Valdin is Reilly's first novel. This reviewer is eager to see what she does next." --BookPage "Within the first few pages of Greta & Valdin , I was already struggling not to laugh aloud in my crowded office. I wanted to tap my colleagues on the shoulders and read lines to them, in the hopes they, too, would cherish Rebecca K. Reilly's little kernels of humor and truth." --Elle " Greta & Valdin is hilarious, touching and hotly sublime. The kind of novel that simultaneously makes me wish I were funnier and absolves me from the need to try--I'll never be as funny as Rebecca K Reilly (and that's OK)." --Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea "I can't remember the last time I read a book that was as genuinely and uniquely funny as Greta & Valdin .
