Description: "Made for Love is an argument for that wilder life, as dirty and maniacal as it may be, as well as a plea: interrogate functionality, accept the risk in letting humans exist: not as machines or robots or fantasies, but as they desire to be." - The Fanzine "Hilarious...Nutting's smart, ribald, and hugely entertaining new novel provokes many chuckles. Occasionally, she reaches higher, and grants the reader flashes of something truly great: a striking view of the pathetic, that Gogolian, absurdist sublime." - The Rumpus.com "Nutting's uniquely hilarious voice is the perfect guide to this darkly surreal, extremely relatable universe, in which the absurd becomes expected and our own personal hells feel like they've been perversely rendered in neon, airbrushed paint." - Nylon Magazine "This is the raunchy, absurd, intelligent romp you've been looking for." - Refinery 29 "Nutting mocks wealthy tech culture with scorching glee." - NPR.org "Easily one of the funniest books about sex and modern technology you'll read this year." - VICE "Alissa Nutting has written the most hilarious and downright bananas book of the summer" - San Diego Magazine "Alissa Nutting's Made for Love has to be this summer's most heartwarming novel." - LitHub "Provocative and irreverent, Made for Love is an absurdly hilarious musing on love and marriage." - W Magazine "Bizarre and brutally funny... relentlessly entertaining... Made for Love is a whip-smart critique of our relationship with technology and the ways we connect to other humans." - Harper's Bazaar "[Hazel] is the rare literary heroine in whose company it would be a pleasure to absolutely wreck my life...The book is a total joyride, dizzying and surprising, like a state-fair roller coaster that makes you queasy for a moment but leaves you euphoric in the end." - The New Yorker "Nutting is the perfect writer to examine this absurdity, and what she's done in Made for Love is remarkable. Let's just put it out there: go read this book." - The Millions "[A] wacky, hysterical and crazy-compelling story. Virtually every sentence of this book is laugh-out-loud hilarious... With [Nutting's] wit plus the intrigue of the plot, it really is impossible to put down." - New York Daily News "Embrace the absurdity in this bonkers romp." - Cosmopolitan "Nutting deftly exploits the comic potential of perverse attachments... The novel charms in its witty portrait of a woman desperate to reconnect with her humanity." - Publishers Weekly, "Best Summer Books of 2017" "As absurd and hilarious as it is poignant." - Cosmopolitan, "11 Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down This Summer" "Made for Love will be one of the funniest, most absurd books you'll read this summer....Hilarious, clever, and strikingly original, Made for Love speaks to the absurdity of our societal obsessions with technology and wealth." - Buzzfeed "Smart, riveting ... The book begins, and races along, as an antic thriller...Made for Love crackles and satisfies by all its own weird rules, subversively inventing delight where none should exist. How can a book be so bright, and so dark?" - New York Times Book Review "Oh god I just love every page. It's fantastic." - Lynda Barry, author of One! Hundred! Demons! and The Good Times Are Killing Me
