A review by fictionofthefix
Sociopaths in Love by Andersen Prunty

5.0

at the beginning of [b:Guts|6395833|Guts|Chuck Palahniuk|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1273235556s/6395833.jpg|6584446], chuck palahniuk's controversial short story, he asks the reader to inhale and take as much air as he or she can. he says the story should last about as long as you can hold your breath, and then just a little bit longer. this book made me think of that, except this feeling lasts for 256 pages.

this was fucking amazing and i'm speechless.

it is structured like a normal relationship, as in, boy meets girl, meeting friends, shared interests, arguments, fights, seeing other people, etc. except the story is anything but normal.

its sheer brilliancy creeped up on me in a similar way walt crept up on erica as she was doing her eyeliner in the very first sentence of the first paragraph.

i really wish the cover was different for obvious reasons.
