First off, Sloane Crosley is an amazing narrator and has a great voice. It's very impressive that an author had the talent to narrate her own book so incredibly. As for the book itself, it was witty and imaginative. The cast of characters was gripping and made the story easy to be invested in. I loved the setup of having Lola running into her Ex-boyfriends all at the same restaurant three nights in a row and it being a serendipitous coincidence, but it turns out to be something more. Clive's new age "cult" having using meditation as a guise for algorithmic influence felt cheeky and fun. Doing autopsies on past relationships in order to discover Lola's own flaws with commitment and her own desire for free will in relationships really comes together for a fulfilling ending.
