“[A] rollicking farce about the things we do for love...A perfect book for this moment.” —People

“The genuinely hilarious Paul Rudnick” (Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author) returns with a witty, insightful new novel about the joy, delight, pain, and absurdity of love in an age of cynicism, divorce, and digital madness.

A tech billionaire and the flight attendant he’s marrying. A TV superhero who used to be married to the flight attendant. A Manhattan book editor and the sensitivity associate who got him fired. A twenty-three-year-old wild child prodigy who’s perhaps the savior of American literature. A vengeful Arkansas sheriff who sells a vitamin-enriched, ten-pounds-off-today demulsifier. A Wall Street bro who raps on TikTok. Two dentists—possibly stalking each other.

What do these people have in common? Invited or not, they’re all headed to the most anticipated destination wedding ever, on the billionaire’s private island, to seek romance, to cause mayhem, and to figure out everyone else’s futures and maybe even their own.

Find out what happens in Paul Rudnick’s heartfelt new novel, which dares to pose the question essential to anyone who’s ever been in love: What Is Wrong with You? Genre Fiction Humorous Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Heartfelt Funny Witty Superhero

Rudnick is one of the few novelists left who still practices the nearly lost art of the laugh-out-loud comic novel. But he also knows how to your heart. Love is the encompassing theme of this one, as demonstrated by an eclectic group of troubled souls who all unite in Chekhovian circumstances for a wedding of an island on the coast of Maine. This is smashingly well written, and very nicely read by the narrator, who is able to capture each character with distinct humor.

One of Rudnick’s best

Loved the writing and the story! Smart, funny & sweet. I did not love the narrator in the audiobook but the story was so compelling I got over her. 😉

Great story

Unexpected story. Laugh out loud scenes. It was an unusual story. Sometimes the. Aerator sounded like AI, but basically very good.
