From the 1990s to the present. A generational story from the bestselling author of The Nineties
Johana Fundová, author of the bestselling Devadettes! , comes with the generational novel Nice, But Straighten Up! , whose main characters are a trio of primary school classmates Aneta, Nela and Kryštof. We meet them in the year 2000, when they finish the fifth grade. They live the normal lives of 11-year-olds of that time: They play Pong and Tetris, watch TV shows, read Bravo and Spiderman, and dream of their first cell phone.
On the last day of June that year, however, their paths diverge. Aneta leaves for high school, Kryštof moves away and Nela is the only one who stays at the primary school in Podolí, Prague. At that moment, none of them know that they won't see each other for almost twenty years. But then in September 2020, everyone will receive an invitation to a class reunion. Where have the paths of fate taken them? And did their childhood dreams come true?
