ReviewsSo blisteringly smart and feverishly inventive that it's difficult to decide which element pins most precisely the absurdity of our present or the terror of our future. This is a novel as frightening as it is hilarious, melding pathos, comedy, and delight as only great satire can., Nutting deftly exploits the comic potential of perverse attachments... The novel charms in its witty portrait of a woman desperate to reconnect with her humanity., 'Nutting deftly exploits the comic potential of perverse attachments...

SynopsisNAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2017 BY GQ * PopSugar * NPR * Huffington Post * Electric Literature * The New Yorker CHOSEN AS A 2017 BEST SUMMER READ PICK BY Publishers Weekly * New York Magazine * Buzzfeed * Refinery29 * Vulture * Nylon From the exciting and provocative writer of Tampa, a poignant, riotously funny story of how far some will go for love--and how far some will go to escape it. Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Diane--his extremely lifelike sex doll--as her roommates. Life with Hazel's father is strained at best, but her only alternative seems even bleaker. She's just run out on her marriage to Byron Gogol, CEO and founder of Gogol Industries, a monolithic corporation hell-bent on making its products and technologies indispensable in daily life. For over a decade, Hazel put up with being veritably quarantined by Byron in the family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. But when he demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips in a first-ever human "mind-meld," Hazel decides what was once merely irritating has become unbearable. The world she escapes into is a far cry from the dry and clinical bubble she's been living in, a world populated with a whole host of deviant oddballs. As Hazel tries to carve out a new life for herself in this uncharted territory, Byron is using the most sophisticated tools at his disposal to find her and bring her home. His threats become more and more sinister, and Hazel is forced to take drastic measures in order to find a home of her own and free herself from Byron's virtual clutches once and for all. Perceptive and compulsively readable, Made for Love is at once an absurd, raunchy comedy and a dazzling, profound meditation marriage, monogamy, and family., NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2017 BY GQ - PopSugar - NPR - Huffington Post - Electric Literature - The New Yorker CHOSEN AS A 2017 BEST SUMMER READ PICK BY Publishers Weekly - New York Magazine - Buzzfeed - Refinery29 - Vulture - Nylon From the exciting and provocative writer of Tampa , a poignant, riotously funny story of how far some will go for love--and how far some will go to escape it.

Quirky, Humorous, Sci fi
Quirky, sci fi fiction book that I really could sink my teeth into. Hazel, the main character, was someone I could relate and root for. I won't reveal any spoilers, but I did enjoy this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
