You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine by Alexandra Kleeman

3.0

Solid 3.5 stars from me. Published in 2015, You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine is a surreal dystopian horror-lite (my own made up genre). The book starts normally enough with our tv commercial-obsessed protagonist worrying that her roommate, B, is trying to take her place and pondering her empty relationship with boyfriend, C, who is addicted to porn and a game show called That's My Partner . She can hardly focus on the problems at hand through the endless barrage of Kandy Kakes commercials.

Then her neighbors abruptly leave their house covered in white sheets with a strange message written on the garage. Cue the Wally's supermarket cult!

This book is WEIRD and jumpy and written with such dream-like prose you are lulled into a false sense of security. You think nothing is happening and then all of a sudden you wake up in a warehouse eating nothing but synthetic desserts.
