Paradise Logic

"It’s about time someone dared to write about dating in their 20s in a hyperreal fashion. If you’re a reader who has grown allergic to low-affect Dimes Square coming-of-age novels, Paradise Logic is a perfect antidote. Sophie Kemp takes big swings with her 23-year-old narrator, Reality, whose name reflects only what she’s most out of touch with. Reality only wants to be the “perfect girlfriend” to her idiot boyfriend, and the lengths she’ll go to achieve this perfection are both hilarious and horrifying. How I described it to a friend: It’s like Room by Emma Donoghue, but the room is all of Brooklyn."
