A review by twentyventi
Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte

4.5

I feel positively giddy when I read books written from the perspective of characters who are an unhinged level of delusional. I devoured this in a day, unable to put it down.

Simultaneously laugh out loud funny and horrifyingly grotesque. A clever dark comedy and a grim piece of modern-day reflection about the ways we are rejected by others and ourselves.

Each character is a grossly distorted — and yet somehow accurate — caricature of someone we all know, or, at times, a reflection of some small piece of ourselves — the darkest impulse we'd rather not confess to having.
