Made for Love

Smart, riveting ... Made 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

Exudes valiant charm

New Yorker

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

VICE

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

Garth Greenwell

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

Bizarre and vivid and unexpected and wickedly funny. I promise you will enjoy the ride

Jami Attenberg

Nutting deserves credit for envisioning the dangers of our surveillance-state tech economy, and milking them for all their ridiculousness ... The novel is a wild ride, with Nutting's foot firmly on the pedal the whole way.

Guardian

Nutting is a deft guide through absurdity. As she further pushes the bounds, continuously testing the reader's trust in where they're being led, she melds a complete command on prose with increasingly unbelievable and wild situations. Made for Love, beneath the sex-doll-dolphin-fantasy face, inexplicably ends up a tale of loneliness, freedom, intimacy and reality.
