Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Cult Classic by Sloane Crosley, read by Sloane Crosley.

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?

Critic Reviews

"A book about regret, about hoping you made the right choice, about the noxious power of our memories, but also about one of the worst things a woman can do in a big city: date men. Look, some of us can’t help it, despite our best efforts." (New York Times)

"Crosley’s writing is as funny as ever, with a great line or clever observation on nearly every page... Her fascinating conceits—entertaining and compelling in their own right—are the engines of the narrative, but her insights into contemporary life are the fuel." (LA Times)

"Crosley brings her prodigious gifts as a humorist to this crackling novel... At once acerbic and poignant, Cult Classic’s tour through heartbreaks past yields bittersweet truths about finding love by swipe. It’s as fine a treatise on modern romance as they come." (Esquire)

A new frontier of tedium

Yet more self-obsessed musings on the meaning of it all i.e. how the world relates to me, me, me. Barest hint of a narrative thread, the assembled characters have all the appeal of day old sushi. If only New York and its denizens were as half as interesting and as important as they imagine themselves to be. No thanks.
