Exudes valiant charm

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

There are so many twist and turns I was out of breath when I finished

An expertly crafted thriller. Claustrophobic and unnerving. Watson at his very best.

A twisty psychological thriller.

Incredibly atmospheric and captivating. I loved the way the mystery unfolded.

Watson is fascinating on the ins and outs of memory, and paces his story with mesmerising expertise.
