I lost track of how many times I gasped while reading this; it may be *so* “so wrong it’s right” that it’s actually just, well, wrong. I almost threw the book across the room at several parts for being too funny, too heartbreaking, and/or too gross. There is sheer genius at work here, not just in the agile prose and acrobatic structure, but in how Tulathimutte dares to completely explode every social, romantic, artistic, and online convention–how the book risks annihilating even itself.
