I went into this one with high hopes, and I was not disappointed. This book almost reminded me of A Midsummer Night's Dream, except that instead of the characters all mixed up and wanting different people, the characters in this book all want different things. Some want to feel desire, some want to be desired, some just want to be left alone. Some desire love, some crave sex, some want simply to be rejected by others. And these wishes are ever-changing and always quirky, clashing in hilarious ways. Unlike The Unfortunate Importance of Beauty there isn't any explicit surrealism, but certainly how the characters react to certain situations feels surreal.

Content note: stalking, child abuse, rape
