Review Quotes

"The Monosexual is a funny, fast-paced, and engaging novel. The characters and the premise are zany and witty."-Dana Spiotta, author of Wayward, and Innocents and Others

"Vincent's need to pathologize his own lost love with a self-diagnosis involving a made-up clinical term-thus both legitimizing his plight and making it as wholly his own as if it had never happened to any other guy before-strikes a nice 21st-century note and makes The Monosexual seem wittily suited to its times."-Jonathan Dee, author of A Thousand Pardons and The Privileges
