What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Soon to be an HBO Max series starring Ray Romano and Cristin Milioti

Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Diane - his sex doll companion. Life with Hazel's father is strained at best, but it's got to be better than her marriage to dominating tech billionaire, Byron Gogol. For over a decade, Hazel has been quarantining in Byron's family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. So when Byron demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips, turning Hazel into a human guinea pig, Hazel makes a run for it. Will Hazel be able to free herself from Byron's virtual clutches before he finds her?

A gloriously absurd and hugely entertaining satire about intimacy and love from the provocative writer of the acclaimed novel Tampa.

Critics Review

Exudes valiant charm

New Yorker

Smart, rivetingMade for Love crackles and satisfies by all its own weird rules, subversively inventing delight where none should exist. So bright… so dark

New York Times Book review

Easily one of the funniest books about sex and modern technology you’ll read this year

VICE

There is no one who negotiates the absurd as vigorously yet poignantly as Alissa Nutting… Brilliant, dense, hilarious writing that hurtles toward an ending that is both satisfying and unexpected

Roxane Gay

Blisteringly smart and feverishly inventive…This is a novel as frightening as it is hilarious, melding pathos, comedy, and delight as only great satire can
