Wodehouse in Crosstalka genre-bending novel that pushes social media, smartphone technology, and twenty-four-hour availability to hilarious and chilling extremes as one young woman abruptly finds herself with way more connectivity than she ever desired.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR In the not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. And Briddey Flannigan is delighted when her boyfriend, Trent, suggests undergoing the operation prior to a marriage proposalto enjoy better emotional connection and a perfect relationship with complete communication and understanding. But things dont quite work out as planned, and Briddey finds herself connected to someone else entirelyin a way far beyond what she signed up for. It is almost more than she can handleespecially when the stress of managing her all-too-eager-to-communicate-at-all-times family is already burdening her brain. But thats only the beginning. As things go from bad to worse, she begins to see the dark side of too much information, and to realize that loveand communicationare far more complicated than she ever imagined.Praise for CrosstalkA rollicking send-up of obsessive cell phone usage in too-near-future America . . . [Connie] Williss canny incorporation of scientific lore, and a riotous cast . . . make for an engaging girl-finally-finds-right-boy story thats unveiled with tact and humor.
