The Pisces

What to do if you're having a hard time getting over your ex, while also being stuck with your PhD thesis on Sappho? You move to L.A., join a support group for love-obsessed women, try Tinder sex, and eventually fall in love with a merman. This book is a wild mix of fun and weird, mixed with darkness, depression and magical realism.

How it perfectly captures an aspect of modern life by taking it to an extreme. And yes, there's lots of merman sex. Not just the erotic kind. Also, everything is very female, and fishy, and wet, and ocean and vagina related. Really, there are UTIs and period sex and yeast infections. Without being too gross. The good kind of gross!
