Fiction. Literature. HTML: Hilariously insightful and delightfully suspenseful, Cult Classic is an original: a masterfully crafted tale of love, memory, morality, and mind control, as well as a fresh foray into the philosophy of romance. MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK of 2022 by Glamour, W, Nylon, Fortune, Lit Hub, The Millions, and more! One night in New York City's Chinatown, a woman is at a work reunion dinner with former colleagues when she excuses herself to buy a pack of cigarettes. On her way back, she runs into a former boyfriend. And then another. And . . . another. Nothing is quite what it seems as the city becomes awash with ghosts of heartbreaks past. What would normally pass for coincidence becomes something far stranger as the recently engaged Lola must contend not only with the viability of her current relationship but with the fact that both her best friend and her former boss, a magazine editor turned mystical guru, might have an unhealthy investment in the outcome. Memories of the past swirl and converge in ways both comic and eerie, as Lola is forced to decide if she will surrender herself to the conspiring of one very contemporary cult. Is it possible to have a happy ending in an age when the past is ever at your fingertips and sanity is for sale? With her gimlet eye, Sloane Crosley spins a wry literary fantasy that is equal parts page-turner and poignant portrayal of alienation. .… (altro)

DNFed
This should've been for me, but goodness, it could've been half again shorter and less navel gazing. (

Meh. The narrator was so comepletely unlikeable and I don't think she was meant to be. I found her self-centered and shallow. Her only redeeming quality was that she was gracious enough not to continue to burden her ex-boyfriends with a relationship. Her frieds were also jerks...they all seemed like a redundant and flat group of people that I'm glad I don't know personally. beyond the annoying characters the premise of the plot was...huh??? Plot: Guy pays a lot of money to do a secret experiment on annoying girlfreind instead of just having a conversation with her about what a complete self-centered ass she is. (

With such a cool title, I expected more from this than flat characters and a minimal plot. (

Just Awesome!

So I have an issue toward the end of the year I don’t sleep well for a week or two so that I read all the books I had planned. These last two weeks have been so much fun! This was one of the books I actually wanted to purchase since my review is beyond late. I am so sorry but thank you for writing such an awesome book.I have never read anything like Cult Classic in that it’s one of those storylines that feels like I should have seen it before, so it has this combination of eeriness and comfort that works really well but mostly it’s just so damn funny.
If you’ve ever had friends or family that are just too invested in your love life, then you only know a fraction of what Lola (our main character, YES it has all the Lola jokes you might think of and then some! I know that this is way after publication day but Run don’t walk to get this book READ & OWNED! (

Really enjoyed this novel idea, a true look into each relationship teaches you something. For something fantasy it wasn't weighed down with the how or scifi aspect. (
