This Life Electric
by Adam Tie
The Haven – a magical place with a kaleidoscopic crowd. A place to lose yourself in. A place to find what you’ve always been looking for.
Will, who desperately tried to outrun his past, still finds himself gripped by its long shadow. A chance encounter with Donny, the charismatic owner of The Haven, brings him back to Singapore to face the abandoned relationship and regrets he thought he had left far behind.
Will gets swept up in Donny’s mission to crack the mystery of why Instagram queen Caroline Yum has dropped off the grid without a word. Little does Will know that Caroline will come looking for him, spurred on by the enigmatic Lucien and the cheeky and spirited “Madam Mischief”.
This Life Electric, a fun, layered and poignant novel about stepping out of one’s own head and into the noisy world, unfolds the choices made by the people of The Haven, the friendships they cherish and the changes each dare to make.
Welcome to The Haven. Come, step inside.

Reviews
The spirit of Fitzgerald is strong in this one. It’s a great read.

Like a bite of popiah, this novel is sweet, salty and Singaporean, all wrapped up in an amusing style.
– Adrian Tan, The Teenage Textbook and The Teenage Workbook
This Life Electric is a novel about the worlds that we leave and re-enter in hopes of gaining a better understanding of where we belong. Through a wry and gently humorous narrative, Tie gives us a fresh experience of the lives of individuals trying to make their fortunes and find meaning in the dazzling, ever-changing landscape of Singapore.
