The strong points of the book are the times when Natalie sits with Claire at the hospital and talks with her, reminiscing or expressing her sadness at the situation. I could empathize with the situation, but it didn’t feel very personal. When Claire’s accident happens, Natalie is at a loss for how to live without the sister she’s always known.I’m not sure if it’s that the book is so short or if it’s just because it is so focused on Natalie’s life in the days following the accident, but the characters lacked depth. Natalie has trusted Claire with some big secrets, just as Claire has trusted Natalie, but of course they have secrets from each other, too. They aren’t the best of friends, but neither are they at each other’s throats all the time. ![]() It’s a decent story about a family dealing with tragedy, but it doesn’t pack quite the punch that other books tackling this subject do.Claire and Natalie’s sibling relationship is completely believable. ![]() To be honest, this book would not have been on my radar were it not one of the Sequoyah nominated books.

Earlier that same day, an incident took place in New York City’s Central Park: a white woman called the police falsely accusing an African American man of threatening her life.

Her father is delighted to see her, but stunned when she announces she has voluntarily exited the elite orbit of her billionaire spouse. In the opening pages of the book, Hazel has left Byron and his sterile, stultifying “futureworld”-he wanted to “mild meld” with her by implanting a chip in her brain-and has decamped to her father’s house, a unit in a senior citizen’s trailer park, where she is not altogether welcome. (Sure, it also sounds like Google, but it’s Gogol, and certainly not an accident.) Hazel Green, the protagonist of Made for Love, Alissa Nutting’s hilarious, madcap second novel, lives in the absurd world of Gogol Industries, a ubiquitous, privacy-shattering tech behemoth run by Byron Gogol, her husband. You cannot place a man in an absurd situation if the whole world he lives in is absurd.” ![]() It would be wrong to assert that Gogol placed his characters in absurd situations. “In Gogol’s case,” he continued, “it borders upon the latter. “The absurd has as many shades and degrees as the tragic has,” wrote Vladimir Nabokov about Nikolai Gogol in his idiosyncratic 1944 biography of the writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() It should in turn be given to and read by students and professors everywhere, whatever their beliefs.
