Editorial Reviews
Review
When university student Abeer Ward looks out the window of her Beirut bedroom, she sees a giant Coca-Cola ad across the street featuring her best friend Yana. The influence of the Occident persists not only in the billboard- and Abeer's Coke-bottle-shaped birthmark- but in the choices she and her friends make...Chreiteh's character development and figurative language is strong, and there are moments of humor. ― Publishers Weekly
Chreiteh keeps up a lively dialogue (trialogue?) between the main characters, and eventually they all learn what it means to be 20-somethings in modern Beirut...Chreiteh is a fresh voice in the Arab world. ― Kirkus Reviews
Lebanon is an Arab country that faces west. The Lebanese embrace Western institutions- i.e., European cafe culture, American retail brands- but Lebanon remain within the Arab world...This makes cosmopolitan Beirut a most interesting hybrid: a westernized Arab city. It's against this backdrop that Alexandra Chreiteh and Michelle Hartman write Always Coca-Cola, a lightly sketched novella about young women in contemporary Lebanon... Always Coca-Cola's best moments illustrate the fault-line between tradition and modernity... The author's greatest talent may be her ability to use a little scene to make a powerful point...The femininity vs. feminism tension at the book's core could be examined just as easily in numerous settings, even certain subcultures within the U.S... Always Coca-Cola is about the simmering tension between tradition and modernity as experienced by young middle-class Lebanese women. This is a great premise for a novel... an intelligent little book, and worth the read. ― New York Journal of Books
...a wonderful, head-shaking, humorous and sometimes sad journey through and around the forces menacing young women's lives and bodies, in Lebanon and beyond. ― Egyptian Independent
