PANDORA SYKES 'So good. I couldn't stop reading it' NICK HORNBY 'Cult Classic makes an
uproarious time of romantic carnage' RAVEN LEILANI 'A witty and fantastical story of dating and
experimental psychology in New York City' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) 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?
