'The witty, improbably propulsive rom-com you didn't know you were waiting for' ELIF BATUMAN'Razor sharp and very funny on the cult of modern dating' PANDORA SYKES'So good. I couldn't stop reading it' NICK HORNBY'Cult Classic makes an uproarious time of romantic carnage' RAVEN LEILANI'A witty and fantastical story of dating and experimental psychology in New York City' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)One night in New York City's Chinatown, Lola is at a dinner with former colleagues when she excuses herself to buy a pack of cigarettes. On her way back, she runs into a former boyfriend. The next night, she runs into another ex. And then... another. The city has become awash with ghosts of heartbreaks past. What might have passed for coincidence becomes something far stranger when the recently engaged Lola must contend not only with the viability of her current relationship, but the fact that her best friend and her former boss - a magazine editor turned mystical guru - might have an unhealthy investment in its outcome. As memories of the past swirl and converge, Lola is forced to decide if she will surrender herself to the conspirings of one very contemporary cult. A smart, sharp and hugely entertaining tale of luck and love, Cult Classic asks: is it possible to have a happy ending in an age when the past is ever at your fingertips and sanity is for sale?
