The character in this book wants to be the greatest girlfriend of all time. This book shows how far someone will go when they are obsessive and know exactly what they want. I also loved the cover, I was immediately drawn to this book because of it. I have never read anything else from this author before, so I will be checking out what else this author has written.

Was enormously excited to read this picaresque novel about Reality Kahn, a girl dreaming about being the best girlfriend in the world, and it did not disappoint!

Demented, stylish, and loaded with sentences and plot points that delighted and made me laugh out loud, which is clearing the high bar for contemporary novels! Stylistically manic and slangy in a way that evokes Honor Levy and Madeline Cash, but more knowing, mature, controlled....like George Saunders or Donald Barthleme if they were "bornth" in 1996 and hung out in the weirder parts of Brooklyn.

A wild and strange romp into one woman's quest into becoming the perfect girlfriend. Sophie Kemp's rendering of modern life through the lens of a character that is totally out of this world is charming and full of surprises. The voice here is both pitch-perfect and uncanny, I had such an enjoyable time following her down this rabbit hole of contemporary life in New York. Can't wait to see what she does next.

Thanks to the publisher for the e-galley.
